National Work Zone Awareness Week
National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is a nationwide effort to promote safety in roadway work zones and protect both workers and drivers. It serves as a reminder that simple actions—slowing down, staying alert, and following posted signs—can save lives.
Across New Mexico, construction crews work daily in high-risk environments alongside moving traffic. At Associated Contractors of New Mexico (ACNM), we are proud to support this initiative and reinforce our commitment to safety, ensuring every worker makes it home safely.
