Work Zone Safety

The University is proceeding with a large expansion of facilities on all campuses. These activities create numerous highway work zones and the need to ensure:

  1. Safety for all workers on foot around traffic vehicles.
  2. Safe operation of construction vehicles in these work zones.
  3. Safety for students, faculty, staff and visitors who share space adjacent to the work zones.

To ensure safety, the University has adopted the guidance of the Cornell Local Roads Program as published in their guide, Work Zone Safety: Guidelines for Construction, Maintenance, and Utility Operations, May 2008. This manual may be obtained at www.clrp.cornell.edu. The University policy adopting this manual and providing additional local information will appear on this website in the fall of 2009.

If you need a hard copy of this manual please call the EH&S Safety Engineer, Mark Adams at 716-829-3301.
