• Abstract:
  This study will focus on highway construction worker safety. Most all statistical data gathered will be from Kentucky construction workers, although the study is not limited by this. Studies of this nature have been completed previously, but most studies neglect to consider maintenance highway workers who encounter many of the same hazards as construction workers, and some would argue that they encounter even more hazards than construction workers. ; After analyzing all of the surveys conducted, the statistical analyses performed, and the literature reviewed, the research team has derived recommendations that we suggest that the KYTC and contractors implement in an effort to reduce workplace accidents and fatalities for construction and maintenance workers.
