How does safe driving relate to construction job safety?
This question has taken on a whole new meaning, given that many people must get to their projects from home, often driving long distances during early hours. There are many hazards on the road during this time that directly affect workers’ safety. Alcohol and drugs, fatigue and distracted driving not only affect the person behind the wheel, but other drivers on the road as well. It is important to be alert while driving and to be aware of what other drivers are doing on the road.
