Maintaining a safe and functional job site is a key challenge for construction industry companies. Whether focused on commercial, residential, school or highway construction, keeping workers safe is an essential imperative. That’s why so many companies have developed comprehensive safety practices to reduce the opportunity for issues to arise. In fact, many construction companies maintain their safety focus to help reduce insurance premium costs. While best efforts can reduce incidences, it will not eliminate them completely. According to the 2019 Highway Worker Safety Zone Survey, conducted by the Associated General Contractors (ACG), 67% of highway contractors reported that a motor vehicle crashed into their work zone during the past year. This is a stunning and sharp increase from the 2016 edition of the survey where only 39% of contractors reported such a crash. To help clients, prospects and others understand the survey results and impact on the industry, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary of key data below.
About the Survey
The survey was conducted online during the months of March and April of 2019. Over 400 highway construction contractors of various sizes and revenues were asked to participate. A total of 392 respondents provided answers to all questions which the remaining only answered select questions.
