Forecast text
The goal of this project is to compile available data, assemble and aggregate the data, analyze the information, and produce a report on roadway struck by incidents to include near miss incidents, the extent of injuries, work loss, and considerations or recommendations that will reduce the occurrence of these type of incidents. The report must address human behavioral factors that lead to such incidents and why best practices and support tools lack meaningful application. Struck-by incidents in this situation is defined as first responders and support workers (tow truck operators, road worker and flaggers etc.) that are struck by vehicles while working/operating on highways, supporting emergency medical, fire and/or rescue operations, roadway violations, inoperative vehicles, medical responses, or road maintenance. The term "Near Miss" is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as, "a potential hazard or incident in which no property was damaged, and no personal injury was sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage or injury easily could have occurred."
