Podcast 11: Work Zone Road Safety Audits: Teaming Up to Improve Safety

This podcast is an introduction to the concept of a work zone RSA and serves as a companion to the guidance document entitled “Work Zone Road Safety Audit Guidelines and Prompt Lists.” The focus will be on how RSAs are different from inspections, which seems to be a common question among practitioners. It will outline the benefits of RSAs at the various stages of construction and will highlight project characteristics that make a project a good candidate for a work zone RSA. The podcast will highlight the main functions of RSAs and note any data we have on where they have been used effectively to improve WZ safety.

Topics Covered:

  • What a Work Zone RSA is and how it differs from an inspection.
  • Why work zone RSAs are important and beneficial
  • Identifying potential team members.
  • The eight steps involved in performing a Work Zone RSA.
