Work Zone & Guardrail Safety Training Home

Welcome to the online training homepage developed as part of the 2016 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Work Zone Safety Grant program. This site serves as a gateway to training materials developed as part of a collaborative effort between Iowa State University, Michigan State University, the University of Kansas, and the University of Missouri. 

The training focuses on policies, programs, and other resources intended to improve safety in construction and maintenance work zones. Collectively, these resources consist of six independent, self-paced and self-guided online training programs in various areas of work zone safety as listed below.
