Roads Works Safety

Generally, road traffic causes significant dangers  to people working on the roads. Roadworks, on the other  hand, can put other road users in  a dangerous situation. It is in this context that  Department of Public Works and Highways  developed the Road Works Safety Manual for  use throughout the Philippines. This manual  is intended for roadwork and bridgework sites  when providing signage and traffic management  to warn, guide and control traffic. The principles  in the manual aim to maximize the safety of  workers and the public during roadworks. The UP National Center for Transportation  Studies in cooperation with the Department of  Public Works and Highways offered this Road  Works Safety Course to provide a uniform  approach to worksite traffic management  through the use of standard signs and layouts  that can be applied to most road work situations.
