merge Traffic control into Construction site safety
Traffic control is a specialized area of construction site safety. One of the differences is that it covers not only the safety of the workers but also of the driving public. A lot of other constuction safety issues really only pertain to construction workers themselves.

Oppose - traffic control also includes the actions of police officers in placing cones to divert traffic around a crashed vehicle. Addhoc 16:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, traffic control is broader than construction. I went ahead and tidied the article a little to help make that clear, but it still needs citations for some of the facts, and would be nice to add any non-US issues.Lisamh 01:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Traffic Control -- even in the US!! -- is a specialised occupation entirely independent of the broader construction industry. I'm just beginning an "Australia" section, with rearrangement of the article. Gimme a couple of weeks. Gordon | Talk, 11 October 2006 @01:50 UTC


 * OK, I didn't have anything better to do :(  I've rewritten the intro and added quite a bit about Australian Traffic Control.  I've also deleted one pic which wasn't relevant, and a UK outlink which wasn't relevant after my rewrite.  I'm going to propose a RENAME to "Road traffic control" once we get the proposed merge out of the way.  Gordon | Talk, 11 October 2006 @05:55 UTC

Actually, this merge thing has been hanging around since May this year. Since nothing has happened except me, and there is no-one in favour, I formally propose that the merge tags be removed. Gordon | Talk, 11 October 2006 @11:03 UTC

Globalize
I think this article needs to be expanded to reflect the countries outside the EU and USA, unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to do so. Thanks. --ADtalk 01:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Is Work Zone Safety part of construciton site safety, traffic control, or its own topic?
I am intersted in developing a page on work zone safety. This topic brings the joining of worker safety and motrist safety together, which I assume is the source of the original proposal to merge construction site safety with traffic control. Is a Work Zone Safety topic with links to each of the other two topics logical?158.111.5.33 (talk) 14:12, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I would classify the "Work Zone Safety" you are talking about as Road Construction Safety, which has some different aspects compared to general construction site safety. I would still put it under traffic control, unless you will specifically address other health/safety issues for road construction workers such as silica exposure, heat stress, etc. in addition to traffic control.

dubious chart
France, Germany, and Italy make up enough of the EU that it seems impossible that the overall rate for EU could be a tenth of those countries and I can't find the numbers on the cited source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1001:8001:C80A:D2A7:483C:C9DE (talk) 20:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
