Defensive driving safety is vital in construction because it reduces the risk of traffic-related accidents involving construction vehicles and equipment, both on and off-site. Construction zones often involve complex traffic patterns, heavy machinery, and workers moving in and out of active areas, creating a higher risk of collisions.
Defensive driving techniques, such as staying alert, anticipating hazards, and maintaining safe distances, help prevent accidents and protect both workers and drivers. Prioritizing defensive driving safety enhances overall site safety, reduces vehicle-related injuries, and ensures smooth operations in high-risk construction environments.
