It's Go Orange Day! Show your support, and help raise work zone safety awareness by wearing something orange today. Be sure to post your pictures on social media using #Orange4Safety and tag us. #NWZAW
Go Orange Day and #NWZAW is an important time to show your support for work zone safety and honor those who have lost their lives in work zones accidents.
Struck-by incidents are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the #construction industry. Wear orange today to provide a visible reminder of the deadly dangers of inattention at highway work areas. https://t.co/xmSfWlEZWR #GoOrangeDay#NWZAW
Your OCA staff is wearing orange in recognition of National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week.
There were 4,540 crashes in Ohio work zones in 2020. Eighteen of those crashes were deadly, resulting in 19 deaths.
