Traffic Incident Management in Work Zones: Training for First Responders, Contractors and Field Engineers

This two-hour instructor-led webinar focuses on the best practices for prevention, response and follow-up involving Work Zone Traffic Incident Management (WZ TIM). Dealing with a motor vehicle crashes or similar incidents in a highway construction zone requires the combined skills of many people including police, fire, emergency medical services (EMS), highway agency, and contractor personnel. WZ TIM is more complicated than ordinary TIM because access to the incident site is often difficult, there is limited space for response operations, and there are more organizations to coordinate. Response can be hampered by the combined effect of incident traffic backups and construction closures.
