Safer Roads

Last year, work zone fatality crashes in Ohio increased by over double compared to those in 2023. The Ohio Turnpike reports that since 2018, more than 25,500 crashes have occurred in work zones on Ohio roadways. And perhaps the most sobering number of all is that hard-working Ohioans were present in 35% of those crashes. These numbers further underscore the need for widespread work zone safety awareness, especially as road construction crews become more prevalent. Work zone intrusions are preventable, join us and be a part of kicking off National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week to make roadways safe for everyone.

Ohio Laborers are the first construction workforce on the job, and the last ones to leave. Its over 15,000 Union members stand for safety and quality work, fair wages, quality insurance, life-long training, and a dignified retirement.
