• Abstract:
  Construction work zones are among the most dangerous places to work in any industry in the world. This is because many factors in construction, such as constant change in working environments and driver errors, contribute to a workplace with a higher number of accidents, injuries, property damage, and other losses when compared to other industries. Construction safety practices are essential to preventing loss on a job site and should be monitored during every project stage.
