VIRGINIA PAVING CO. WINS NATIONAL AWARD FOR SAFETY INNOVATIONS
Lanham, MD - The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced today that Virginia Paving Co. of Springfield, Va., a division of the Lane Construction Corp., has won its 2006 Asphalt Operations Safety Innovations Award. The company received the award on February 20, 2007, at NAPA's 52nd Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
The Asphalt Operations Safety Innovations award recognizes companies that develop innovative ideas or achieve practical outcomes that lead to improved worker safety in a roadway, plant site or quarry environment, and whose safety practices are above and beyond normal safety practices.
Virginia Paving Co. won the award for its work in alerting young drivers to the hazards of construction work zones. At the request of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the company put together an exhibit on work-zone safety at the Prince William County Fairgrounds. The one-day event was geared toward young drivers with learner's permits or new licenses. Almost 600 students from 15 high schools in Loudoun, Fairfax and Prince William Counties attended.
The teens walked through the exhibit, which included a sample full-lane closure, complete with signs and barriers. “We showed them why we have to put up the work zones and why we need to control speed through the area,” said Philip Frazier, assistant plant manager for the company's Chantilly, Loudoun, Alexandria and Fredericksburg plants. “We explained what they should look for in construction zones.”
Displays emphasized the human cost of work-zone accidents. An oversized tombstone gave students the grim statistics on Virginia's work-zone accidents in 2005: 2,443 crashes, 1,187 injuries and 14 fatalities. “Many of them were shocked,” Frazier continued. “They really had no understanding that there was a problem, that drivers really do crash through cones and barrels. And many had not thought about the flagmen and other workers in terms of their families.
“VDOT has already said that they want us to come back and do the same thing next year,” Frazier added. “We hope to enlist some fire and rescue departments to take part next year as well.”
Virginia Paving Co. also has developed a DVD on work-zone safety that can be used in drivers' education classes. The black and white video, which follows a flagger through the workday, emphasizes the impact that work-zone accidents can have on workers and their families. The company will ask drivers' ED teachers in Fairfax, Loudoun, Spottsylvania, Prince William and Stafford Counties for time to show the program in their classes.
