Be safe.

Do not walk into construction zones or remove signs and barricades that are in place for everyone’s safety. Even when no workers are present, it's a hazardous area. Cross at designated crosswalks, follow posted signs, and keep at a safe distance.

Safety is a shared responsibility.

Do not ignore safety warnings or put others at risk by moving pylons, barricades or signage. Let's make sure at the end of every day, everyone gets home to their families.

Safty during rapidway construction is crucial

In addition to existing legislation and local bylaws, our contractors receive certification from industry associations, and have their own safety and quality assurance processes, including:

Daily safety meetings and inspections before work starts, which includes a list of potential hazards and safety measures.
Traffic Control Plans and Traffic Protection Plans — such as using signs and barrier placement to protect workers, motorists, pedestrians and others in the area.
Pedestrian Control Plans to protect and direct pedestrians when the work impacts sidewalks, crosswalks and bus stops.

Keeping you informed

Coping with construction is a lot easier when you know what to expect, where to expect it, and for how long. Your community liaison meets with schools, libraries, businesses, resident groups, and more. In case you miss your community liaison, the best way to stay informed about construction activities is to sign up for email notifications at vivanext.com/subscribe and follow us on our social media platforms.
