The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says large trucks “are overrepresented in fatal work zone crashes.”

On the day of the incident, the worker arrived at a residential jobsite with a dump truck containing 5,000 pounds of gravel. The victim backed the truck into the driveway and raised the hydraulically controlled dump bed 2 feet.

NIOSH estimates that about 22 million workers are exposed annually to loud noises.

Activities such as walking jobsites and talking to workers about the tasks they’re performing are an effective way to uncover hazards – if safety conversations are done well.
