- W657486037 abstract "All employees of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) were directed to participate in the first annual departmentwide Safety Stand Down, held in August 1992, a forum focusing on heightened safety awareness. The objective was to focus employee attention on Caltrans' commitment to safety, with the expectation of making the department a safer and more productive place to work. Safety Stand Downs were held at headquarters and in all 12 of Caltrans' administrative districts, in offices and in the field. While safety in the office was considered, the department's primary focus was on limiting field workers' exposure to hazards along the roadside. Ideas and comments for safety improvement were collected and forwarded to the Office of Safety and Health in Sacramento. After the first all-day forum, the department initiated a new philosophy: Design for Safety. In September 1992 Director van Loben Sels brought Caltrans' top managers to a meeting in Sacramento to discuss ideas, methods, and procedures for building safety into all aspects of the department's work. The result was the formation of the Design for Safety Action Group, which continues to meet to discuss ways of reducing employee exposure to hazards at every phase of transportation work. Over time, the action group identified approximately 90 issues to be addressed. Forty Design for Safety concepts were sent to the responsible program areas for further development, along with consideration of feasibility and costs. To date, 11 Design for Safety concepts have been completed and 3 are near completion. Some of the most significant concepts are described in this article. They concern the following: glare screens; landscaping and vegetation; concrete guardrails; maintenance and construction zone safety; maintenance access on urban freeways; and marketing safety. Many of the safety concepts are being incorporated into early project assessment at Caltrans. Most Design for Safety concepts either have been implemented or are in the process of moving toward implementation. Caltrans continues to see a positive impact from its safety activities." @default.
