However, as you will see as the course progresses, many of the regulations in Subpart O direct readers to other sections of the CFR. At times, it directs readers to outside sources. This course will not cover the outside regulations and subparts in detail.
Who must take this training? Construction Industry: Motor vehicles and mechanized equipment pose a serious threat to operators, workers, and site safety. It is critical that everyone on the worksite understands the dangers related to motorized machinery and be trained to identify and handle such hazards.

Case Study: Drugs and Alcohol in Fatal Work Crashes
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published a study titled "Fatigue, Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Medical Factors in Fatal-to-the-Driver Heavy Truck Crashes."
According to NTSB’s toxicology reports:
33 percent of drivers who were fatally injured tested positive for alcohol or drugs
Fatigue and fatigue-drug interactions were involved in more fatalities than alcohol and other drugs of abuse alone
A disproportionately high percentage of drivers who used drugs are single, separated, or divorced
Key Takeaway: Driving while "under the influence" contributed to one-third of fatal injuries in this study. However, drugs and alcohol are not the only factors that can lead to fatal vehicle-related injuries: Fatigue also plays a key role in many accidents. How can your workplace promote safe, sober, and non-drowsy driving? Consider this and your role in workplace safety. By setting a good example yourself, you are contributing to a healthier workplace.
