This episode is launching during National Work Zone Awareness Week. A time to highlight the importance of work zone safety and to remember the men and women who have lost their lives while working to keep our roads maintained and safe. On March 17, 2006, Patrick Mapleson was filling potholes along Sunrise Highway on Long Island when a driver lost control of his cement truck and crashed into Pat's work zone, taking his life. This episode was recorded on March 17, 2026 on the same day a tree planting ceremony was held at DOT's Medford Yard on Long Island, marking the 20th anniversary of Pat's passing and honoring his life and legacy. Josh and Anya were joined by Pat's friend and co-worker Pete Bugala, who was on the job site that day, as well as Pat's daughter Karen Torres who has become an advocate for work zone safety.

In this episode:The Rundown (:36): Drew Earnest of D.H. Griffin and a member of the NDA Board of Directors opens with a safety moment recognizing National Work Zone Awareness Week and the importance of vigilance in active work zones. He highlights upcoming NDA education opportunities in Washington, D.C., including the Foundations of Demolition Project Management and Job Cost Tracking courses in April and the Demolition Methods, Planning and Design course in May. He also shares updates on NDA advocacy efforts, including requests to OSHA and EPA for regulatory clarity on silica dust controls in freezing conditions and PCB bulk product waste disposal, along with a look at infrastructure funding priorities and current scrap market trends.From the Field (6:11): Doug Thomas of Independence Demolition makes the case for treating engineering and structural analysis as a core part of every demolition project — not an afterthought. He walks through the key questions contractors should ask before starting work, from identifying structural strengths and weaknesses to understanding load capacities, ground conditions and sequencing. He also emphasizes the role of planning, engineering surveys and contract requirements in reducing risk and improving efficiency, reinforcing a simple idea: better planning leads to safer, more controlled demolition.Member Conversation (13:09): In a conversation with NDA's director of content, Alexa Schlosser, Geordie Stewart of Connect Work Tools shares his path into the demolition industry — from teaching high school economics to building a career in attachments and equipment. Now serving as president of NDA's newly formed Rocky Mountain Chapter, he discusses how the chapter came together, the value of local engagement within a national organization and what attendees can expect from the group's upcoming event in Centennial, Colorado. Stewart underscores the role of chapters in lowering barriers to entry, fostering relationships and creating accessible opportunities for learning and collaboration across the industry.

Washington's Work Zone Speed Camera Program issued 65,000 infractions in its first year, with encouraging safety results. Speeding dropped from 60% to 30% at I-5 near Joint Base Lewis-McChord during enforcement periods. The program expands to 15 cameras by 2027, and first-time fines increase from $0 to $125 starting July 2026. WSP Chief John Batiste reports nearly 9% are repeat offenders among the 6,000 who received financial penalties. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/speed-cameras-designed-to-bring-added-safety-to-work-zones/ #WorkZoneSafety #TrafficEnforcement #WSDOT #WashingtonStatePatrol #RoadSafety #SpeedCameras #ConstructionZones #TrafficSafety #WorkerSafety #TransportationNews

God desires to make our lives a WORK ZONE, but before the construction begins, there first needs to be some DEMOLITION. What in your live needs to be demolished? What needs to be taken out to make way for the good things God has planned for you on the blueprints He has designed for your life?

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Gregg Brunner, chief operations officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), about recent deadly crashes in or near work zones. On June 24, a truck driver was killed and MDOT workers were injured in a crash on I-75 in Monroe County. In another, July 1, two people were killed in a crash in a work zone queue on I-96 west of Portland. Brunner composed a poignant message to department employees with a reminder of the need to be vigilant about safety. From his message:                We talk often about safety, but these events are painful reminders of just how critical it is every single day, in every single task. Whether you're in a work zone, near active traffic, in one of our garages or facilities, or behind the wheel, your actions matter. Safety is a mindset, not a checklist. It's about being present, engaged and always looking out for one another. Brunner talked about benefits to be found in developments in technology to alert drivers and the promise of driver-assist technologies in vehicles, as outlined by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
