Construction season is ramping up, and that means more work zones on roads across the country. In the MYR Group network of companies, safety is always the top priority—whether you’re behind the wheel or behind the cones.
According to most recent data, collected in 2022, there were 96,000 crashes in work zones, leading to 37,000 injuries and 891 fatalities. These numbers include workers, drivers, and pedestrians—proving that 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
👷♂️ Workers: Use proper signage, wear high-vis PPE, and always know your escape route.
🚗 Drivers: Slow down, stay alert, follow signs, and avoid distractions.
Let’s work together to protect our crews, each other, and our communities.
At Western Pacific, Safety is Life.
