 Monday, April 15th begins National Work Zone Awareness Week and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 12 is placing a large emphasis on safety. Responsibility not only falls upon the workers, but on the drivers populating the roads to make sure no one gets injured. Cabinet members met at the district's maintenance facility in Allen to kick off the week with a work safety discussion. We are spending this week reminding the public, our workers, that first of all, you need to be in your high bills, you need to be cautious of what you're doing, you need to be aware of your surroundings, slow down, put your phone down, and just be aware of the work zones. We had some contractors come and tell us about some incidents that they have experienced in the work zones. We had KSP partnering with us today to talk about work zones and to remind us to slow down and be cautious and not be distracted. My goal is when I get up in the morning, I have 352 employees and like I'd bed at night, I want to have 352 employees and I want them to be safe. Appalachian Wireless wants you to save money this tax season with the iPhone 13 for a penny on the Appalachian Unlimited or Mix and Match Plans in store only. iPhone 13 for a penny, terms and conditions to apply. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. Kentucky State Police are also getting involved by acting as an extra set of eyes and ears for road workers. If you see any construction projects underway while driving, be sure to switch lanes or slow down. It takes everyone working together. When it comes to the work zones, you've got the workers out there, they're trying their best to be safe to ensure their safety on the job site and we're there to bring attention to the work zone to let people know you need to slow down, use caution to those work zones so those guys can work. So like we said today, it takes everyone working together, it takes safe drivers, safe workers to make a safe work zone. As the summertime comes around, the weather gets better, we're going to see a lot more projects from the transportation department and like we talked about, those non-traditional projects are a lot more common than we see on large-scale work zones so we just need to make sure that we watch out for the workers and give them space, give them time to be able to work so they can effectively and efficiently get the job done.
