Work Zone Awareness Week
April 21 - 25, 2025
Information on North Carolina events will be coming soon!
The NCDOL OSH Division is joining Federal OSHA on promoting two National Safety Stand-Downs that are conducted during the same week in April. Transportation incidents and workers struck by vehicles or mobile equipment account for the highest number of fatal work injuries, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Workers such as emergency responders, clean-up, utility, demolition, construction, and others in areas where there are moving vehicles and traffic are exposed to being struck-by moving vehicles. Work zones are used to move traffic in an approved direction and are typically identified by signs, cones, barrels, and barriers.
