Falls continue to be one of the most serious hazards in roadway work zones and transportation construction. Florida LTAP is hosting a free 2-part series that offers a comprehensive overview of fall risks, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, and the full range of prevention and protection strategies used in active work zone environments.
