Abstract:This report thoroughly investigates and analyzes the diverse factors influencing incident occurrence in work zone environments, aiming to identify areas where proactive planning can enhance incident mitigation. Drawing from an extensive review of existing literature on work zone safety, 37 factors affecting both public and occupational safety were identified. Two surveys were then conducted among MoDOT employees and contractors to assess the relative criticality of these factors on worker safety within work zones. Survey results highlight driver-related factors, such as the driver's level of attention and unsafe driving, as the most critical to worker safety in work zones. Additionally, MoDOT employees and contractors evaluated MoDOT’s performance on the studied factors. While MoDOT's performance received substantial ratings overall, contractors consistently rated it lower than MoDOT employees, indicating a divergence in perspectives between stakeholder groups.
