Road construction zone safety has been a research focus in many countries for many decades. For decades, the importance of road work zone safety has increased considerably with the continual increase in the number of road work zones present on road for repairs and expansion. Highway and road construction workers are at risk of fatal and serious nonfatal injury when working in the vicinity of passing motorists, construction vehicles, and equipment. For decreasing the occupational accidents, it is important to get to know and take precautions against the parameters causing occupational accidents experienced by workers working at road-building jobs. This study addresses the most frequent accident types in road-building construction sites and their reasons, and offers recommendations regarding the precautions to be taken to prevent such accidents. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
