제 목 : Council, ARTBA to Champion Work Zone Safety 일 자 : 1998년 11월 제공처 : Internet Council, ARTBA to Champion Work Zone Safety ============================================ The National Safety Council has joined the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, or ARTBA, in a strategic alliance designed to reduce roadway hazards in work zone sites across the United States. Jerry Scannell, Council president, and David R. Kraemer, ARTBA chairman, co-signed the five -year agreement at a September meeting in Nashville, Tenn. "We will work to create a broad national program based on the successful model of the Air Bag ＆ Seat Belt Safety Campaign," Jerry Scannell, Council president, said at the meeting. Gloria Jeff, deputy administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, also attended, and praised the new partnership. Under the agreement, the Council will work with ARTBA to develop a broad educational program to help prevent deaths, injuries and delays in roadway work zones. The program will address ways to reduce risks to roadway construction workers and the driving public, including flagger training and certification and public awareness campaigns. ARTBA recently partnered with the Federal Highway Administration and the Texas Transportation Institute to create the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse. In its new partnership role with ARTBA, the Council will serve on a board of advisers for the clearinghouse. Recent legislation drove the Council and ARTBA to combine forces. In June, President Clinton signed into law the Transportation Equity Act, or TEA-21, which authorizes nearly $218 billion for various highway safety programs and restoration projects. The transportation law is expected to increase repair work and construction areas on the nation's roadways, which comprise 163,000 miles of rural and urban roads and 46,000 miles of Interstate highways. "Last year, there were 112 worker and 650 highway fatalities in work zones, " said Jerry Scannell. Under TEA-21, those numbers are likely to increase, he said, unless a "substantial initiative is undertaken."

     Council, ARTBA to Champion Work Zone Safety
     ============================================

The National Safety Council has joined the American Road and Transportation
Builders Association, or ARTBA, in a strategic alliance designed to reduce
roadway hazards in work zone sites across the United States. Jerry Scannell,
Council president, and David R. Kraemer, ARTBA chairman, co-signed the five
-year agreement at a September meeting in Nashville, Tenn.

"We will work to create a broad national program based on the successful
model of the Air Bag ＆ Seat Belt Safety Campaign," Jerry Scannell, Council
president, said at the meeting. Gloria Jeff, deputy administrator of the
Federal Highway Administration, also attended, and praised the new
partnership.

Under the agreement, the Council will work with ARTBA to develop a broad
educational program to help prevent deaths, injuries and delays in roadway
work zones. The program will address ways to reduce risks to roadway
construction workers and the driving public, including flagger training
and certification and public awareness campaigns.

ARTBA recently partnered with the Federal Highway Administration and the
Texas Transportation Institute to create the National Work Zone Safety
Information Clearinghouse. In its new partnership role with ARTBA, the
Council will serve on a board of advisers for the clearinghouse.

Recent legislation drove the Council and ARTBA to combine forces. In June,
President Clinton signed into law the Transportation Equity Act, or TEA-21,
which authorizes nearly $218 billion for various highway safety programs
and restoration projects. The transportation law is expected to increase
repair work and construction areas on the nation's roadways, which comprise
163,000 miles of rural and urban roads and 46,000 miles of Interstate
highways.

"Last year, there were 112 worker and 650 highway fatalities in work zones,
" said Jerry Scannell. Under TEA-21, those numbers are likely to increase,
he said, unless a "substantial initiative is undertaken."
