• Develop hazard awareness training and education programs on roadway work zone safety and health issues targeted to Spanish-speaking and "hard-to-reach" highway construction contractor/workers, including toolbox talk modules and instructor manuals for train-the-trainer programs. The training and education programs may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Runovers/Backovers Noise Sprains and Strains Emergencies Working Outdoors (Heat & Cold Stress) Struck By Flaggers Operators

Falls Nightwork Electrical Excavations Hand and Power tools Rebar and Mat work Blacktopping and Milling Work

• Develop and disseminate safety and health information through print and electronic media, including electronic assistance tools and links from OSHA's, NIOSH's and The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition members' Web sites and professional and trade journal articles. (This will include all relevant data on silica gathered from OSHA's Region II
  New Jersey Work Zone Coalition and any other silica information from the coalition's members.)
• Speak, exhibit, and/or appear at occupational safety and health conferences, including federal, state and local highway and safety organizations, Public Works Association Meetings, The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition members' meetings and other forums appropriate to work zone safety and health.
• Provide outreach, deliver or arrange for the delivery of train-the-trainer sessions and selected awareness/best practices modules, as jointly determined by OSHA, NIOSH and The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Heath Coalition that address, but are not limited to the above topics.
• Cross-train OSHA and NIOSH personnel, highway construction industry safety and health professionals and selected other personnel (e.g. contractor, state DOT's, union locals, public works) in the content and delivery of the awareness/best practices modules; as jointly determined by OSHA and The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition.
• Promote and encourage The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition members' and their affiliates' participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Programs, Consultation and its Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.
• Encourage The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition members and affiliates to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and Area Offices to address selected work zone safety and health issues.

• Convene or participate in forums sponsored by federal and state governments and other organizations (e.g. Federal Highway Administration, States' Department of Transportation and State Highway organizations) on work zone safety and health to encourage and help forge innovative solutions for reducing work zone safety and health injuries and fatalities and to focus on work zone safety and health issues at the national level.
• Raise others' awareness of the need for and demonstrate commitment to work zone safety and health improvements whenever the leaders within The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition address groups.
• Document and disseminate information and case studies that illustrate the business and social value for reducing work zone injuries and fatalities and publicize their results through various media including the Alliance participants' journals, news reports, and web postings.
• Share research findings, with the construction industry, so that the interventions and best practices, as jointly defined to by OSHA, NIOSH and The Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Coalition, that are described in training and outreach activities are based upon best-available scientific data.
