Traffic Control (Book 7)
Every year, workers working on or close to public roads get hurt in traffic accidents. Employers have to make sure that they have got a solid traffic control plan to keep their workers safe from traffic when they are working on the construction projects, just like as Ontario regulations say a traffic plan that’s meant to keep everyone safe, including drivers and workers, needs to be thought out and created to keep everyone safe.
