Road traffic accidents occur when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or object on a public road. They are a major public health issue and one of the leading causes of death globally for people aged 5-29. In Nepal, about 7 people die every day from road accidents, which account for 7% of all deaths in the country. The number of accidents and deaths from accidents has been increasing in Nepal over the past decade. Common causes of road accidents include speeding, drunk driving, not wearing seatbelts or helmets, and violating traffic rules. Preventive measures like enforcing speed limits, seatbelt and helmet laws, banning phone use while driving, and improving road infrastructure can help reduce accidents.
This document discusses epidemiology of road traffic accidents. It provides definitions of road traffic accidents and some key facts such as road accidents being a global problem that disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. Speeding, drinking and driving, lack of helmet and seatbelt use, and poor road infrastructure are identified as major risk factors. The document also outlines the epidemiological triad of host, agent, and environmental factors in road accidents. It discusses the burden of road accidents in India and provides data on deaths by type of road users and vehicles. Prevention strategies covered include education, legislation around drinking and driving, helmet and seatbelt use, speed management, and improving trauma care systems.
Road traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in over one million deaths per year. India has a particularly high road fatality rate and sees over 150,000 deaths from traffic accidents annually. The risks are greater for certain groups like motorcyclists, young people, and those of low socioeconomic status. Most accidents are caused by human error factors like speeding, distracted driving, and alcohol use, though vehicle and road infrastructure issues also contribute. Prevention efforts include education, enforcement of traffic laws, improving vehicle and road design, and managing land use to reduce risk exposure.
This document summarizes road safety trends and vulnerable groups in South Asia. It finds that road traffic injuries disproportionately impact males aged 20-40 who often use motorcycles. Pedestrians, especially women and children, are also highly vulnerable. Data on road crashes is often scarce and inconsistent across South Asia. Young drivers, pedestrians, public transport users, and the disabled are particularly at risk due to unsafe infrastructure, reckless driving, and lack of road safety measures. Better road design, traffic enforcement, and safety education are needed to reduce crashes and protect vulnerable groups.

4. Crew Leaders Leading the
Way…
As Crew Leaders, we are entrusted with duties that can be a

for potential hazards before undertaking it, & express the
concerns & dangers that exist to each crew member for each
job before ever doing any work.

Vests/D.O.T. Standard…
Government workers must adhere to Chapter 23
Part 634 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), which defines the requirements of high
visibility safety apparel. Safety vest laws are
intended to reduce road worker fatalities caused
by motor vehicles.

where he is on foot in the right of way on a
federally funded highway must wear safety vests.
This includes construction and maintenance
workers, survey or utility workers and first
responders to emergencies.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's
Federal Highway Administration sets
minimum traffic cone standards for maximum
safety and effectiveness.

kept open in
the same direction)

11. Pegula, Stephen M.
From 2003 to 2010, 962 workers were killed at
road construction sites.
Nearly half of these deaths resulted from a
vehicle or mobile equipment striking the
worker.
An analysis from the Bureau’s Census of Fatal
Occupational Injuries categorizes workers by
whether they were working at or passing
through the road construction site when
fatally injured.
12. Statistical Deaths Involving Vehicles and Heavy
Equipment in Construction
Vehicles and mobile heavy
equipment were involved in
469 deaths (37.7%) out of a
total of 1,243 construction
deaths in 2005.
Causes of deaths varied:
"struck by" a vehicle and
highway collisions were
obviously caused by vehicles
and were categorized as such.
Other deaths involving vehicles
were identified in the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics’
(BLS) categories "caught
in/between" and "falls," such as
a worker being caught between
parts of a dump truck or falling
from a piece of mobile heavy
equipment.
Of the 469 vehicle- and mobile heavy
equipment-related deaths in 2005,;
279 occurred on construction sites
(59%)which included traffic work zones.
Mobile heavy equipment (42%) Trucks (23%)
177 deaths occurred on streets and highways,
accounting for 38% of the total vehicle-related
construction deaths. These included 162
deaths of drivers and passengers, plus 15
deaths of workers who were struck by vehicles
on highways.
Of the vehicle occupant deaths, 7% involved
mobile heavy equipment (such as bulldozers
and backhoes), 34% heavy trucks, and 56%
other road vehicles (such as cars and pickup
trucks).
14. Company Policy towards the
Employee…
No employee is expected to undertake a job until
he or she has received job instructions on how to
do it properly and has been authorized to perform
that job.
Whenever a dangerous condition develops, work
will be halted and corrective action taken at once.
Employees will ensure that all equipment, tools,
and safety equipment are in good working order.
Tools will only be used for their authorized
purpose.
16. To Chock or not to Chock? That is
the Question…CCWA Vehicles will not have to
be chocked as long as the
following guidelines are
followed:
Chock blocks must be used with
the following
vehicles/equipment when
parked or left unattended:
Parking Brake must be
applied on all air brake
and non-air brake
equipped vehicles.
Transmission must be in
Park Position on all non-
air brake equipped
vehicles.
Transmission must be in
neutral on Air Brake
equipped vehicles.
Driver must follow all
DMVS rules pertaining to
direction that front wheels
are positioned when
parked on inclines.
Vehicles with Standard
(Straight Shift)
transmissions which are
not equipped with Air
Brakes.
Any type trailer that is
disconnected from the
vehicle.
If a vehicle has six
wheels or more, the
vehicle must be
chocked while parked.
17. Of course, this will seem to be quite an
exaggeration, but there have been reports of
tires nearly coming off of trailers while
driving down the road!!! Let’s see how not
inspecting a vehicle properly, or turning one
in, can turn into a nightmare…
What’s the worst that could
happen?...
18. If a piece of equipment is faulty, do not use
it!!!
“All vehicle/equipment operators must perform a walk around
inspection prior to moving the vehicle/equipment”… as stated in
the rule book. If something is found to be in faulty condition, do not
drive it because whatever happens on the road pertaining to the
vehicle falls back on the driver of that vehicle.

I was driving down the road when suddenly, out of
no where, my door flung off the hinges, & almost
hit the driver next to me. I told my co-
worker about the problem months ago,
but he told me to drive to the vehicle until the
door fell off, & that’s just what happened. Pretty
ironic, huh? I hope this doesn’t affect my empl-
oyment, or any future promotion opportunities.
