Driving safely around large trucks is part of the message being promoted by the American Society of Safety Engineers
in an information campaign along Interstate 5.
At more than 20 rest areas and truckstops throughout Oregon, Washington and California, ASSE has set up posters and arranged for the distribution of ASSE's free "Important Safety Tips" brochure aimed at educating the motoring public about driving safely around work zones, trucks, buses, RV's and other cars.
"Roadway crashes continue to be the leading cause of on-the-job fatalities in this country. We wanted to reeducate the public on important safety information so we can at least help prevent needless accidents and injuries," Barbara J. Aguon, incoming ASSE Columbia-Willamette Chapter president and Portland Parks & Recreation Safety Manager, said today. "Roadway crashes account for one-fourth of the fatal work injury total. With Memorial Day ahead of us launching the summer vacation season, it is important for us to educate as much of the motoring public as possible and what better way to do it than at rest and truckstops on the Interstate."
