| 摘要： | Highway work sites can be dangerous places to work. Ask any person who regularly works in a highway work site, and he or she will agree. Traffic passing by at high speeds, multiple large construction and maintenance vehicles operating nearby, deep excavations, and transporting and maneuvering massive structural elements and amounts of material are some of the many hazardous conditions to which highway workers are exposed. Add in that the work often is performed at night with limited visibility and in extreme environmental conditions and potentially in the presence of impaired or distracted drivers, and it is easy to understand that the work shift for a highway worker is full of significant hazards. The job of keeping highway workers safe is arguably more difficult than performing highway work and, unquestionably, more important. |
