T. Peter Ruane is president and chief executive officer of the American Road and Transportation Builders Association. The National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse by T. Peter Ruane and Gerald Ullman Tom Everett needed information about improving safety in roadway construction zones. The service exceeded my expectations.
Work zones are inherently dangerous places.
More than 700 people are killed and 37,000 are injured every year at these sites. The National Work-Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse provides useful information to protect motorists and workers in work zones. Testimonials like this have become commonplace during the first year of the clearinghouse project. The facility is fast becoming the leading source of information to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries associated with roadway construction sites. More than 700 people are killed and 37,000 are injured every year at these sites.
