Work Zone Protection - NATE #ClimberConnection Video

NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association announced the official release of a video on Work Zone Protection. The video, the second to debut in Volume 6 of the Association’s popular #ClimberConnection series. The video shines a spotlight on the safety best practices associated with Work Zone Protection, specifically relating to the appropriate use of temporary traffic control devices, proper signage, the type of PPE safety gear technicians working in these environments are required to wear, and the different scenarios workers are confronted with while deploying fiber, network equipment, and communications infrastructure in areas near pedestrian and traffic flow. The video’s release is timely as generational broadband investments are slated to be made as part of the $42.5 Billion Bead Program and as 5G networks densification continues to scale through the deployment of small cell equipment. Much of these work activities will take place in public right-of-ways in closer proximity to people in urban and suburban areas of the country. The Association encourages industry workers to subscribe to NATE’s YouTube Channel and share their comments on the video through social interaction on the Association’s Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Tumblr , Twitter and YouTube platforms. The #ClimberConnection Volume 6 campaign is designed to provide education on timely topics directly to the industry’s workforce. For more information on NATE, visit www.natehome.com.
