Integrating technological and organisational approaches to enhance the safety of roadworkers

在澳大利亚各地，每年约有50人在道路施工事故中丧生，750人受伤，造成数亿美元的损失。使道路工程更安全是一项复杂的任务，涉及多个组织以及驾车公众。该项目将开发和评估一个综合方案，包括研究新技术，测试改善组织和安全文化的战略，以及调查教育方法。在澳大利亚为改善道路基础设施投入前所未有的资金之际，这项研究将有助于确保直接参与道路改善工作的工人的安全，这些道路改善工作是实现重大的长期经济和社会效益所必需的。

Across Australia about 50 people are killed and 750 are injured in crashes at roadworks each year, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Making roadworks safer is a complicated task, involving multiple organisations as well as the motoring public. This project will develop and evaluate an integrated program including research into new technologies, testing of strategies to improve organisational and safety culture, and investigation of education approaches. At a time of unprecedented spending on improving Australia's road infrastructure, this research will contribute to ensuring the safety of the workers directly involved in the road improvements necessary to achieve major long-term economic and social benefits.
