ANSI Groups Gears Up For New Workzone Safety Standard
In the absence of federal standards to protect highway workers, an industry workgroup is gearing up to produce a voluntary standard that will provide contractors with some guidelines for ensuring that highway workers are safe.
A technical review committee for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A10 Committee is currently reviewing a draft standard developed by a workgroup that includes representatives from labor, industry, and the government. Once the technical review committee releases the document, ballots will be sent out for a vote by the full ANSI A(10) committee.
