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.
