Workers deserve to come home from work after their shift and not be afraid to take a highway or road job because of the high number of work zone incidents that are occurring.

The USI (Unions, Senators, Industry Leaders) Committee was created to work with unions, legislators and industry leaders to take a stand against work zone injuries and fatalities. The purpose of this committee was created to bring together unions, contractors, and industry stakeholders together to make a difference and improve work zone safety standards throughout Washington due to the increased injuries and fatalities in work zones.

The USI Committee has put a foundation in place to make real change through on the job changes, legislation and a public awareness campaign. The campaign #DriveSaferWA uses billboards statewide to help build awareness. These billboards have been donated on behalf of LAMAR Advertising.

The public and stakeholders can visit drivesaferwa.com, to sign the #DriveSaferWa pledge and utilize the social media tool-kit. The tool-kit can be used by anyone to promote work zone safety and awareness. This will be a long-term campaign that the committee intends to build on over time and work with partners in the industry and legislators to increase awareness and enact change in work zone safety. This committee is also working on changes legislatively and on the job site with industry leaders to ensure workers are able to go home safely at the end of the day.
