WV GHSP

We are hiring for an Accountant/Auditor! One of our own is retiring. Please share! governmentjobs.com/careers/wvdot/…

The 2025 work zone data is in, and it’s a reality check. Clear skies and daylight aren't enough when speeds are high and eyes are on phones. Distraction is the leading danger. Slow down. Stay alert. Protect our crews. 🚧 #WorkZoneSafety #SafetyOrange #DriveSafe

Work zone crashes defy common assumptions: 60% are on interstates, 78% during the day, and 81% in dry weather (2025 WV data). Slow down, put the phone down, and pay attention. Work zone safety is everyone's job. #WorkZoneSafety #DriveSmart #WVDOT

Thank you to @WVDOT, @westvirginiadmv, Contractors Association of WV, @WVStatePolice, @KanawhaSheriff, @USDOTFHWA, Charleston, PD, and law enforcement statewide. Only by working together will we continue to reduce crashes, fatalities, and injuries on West Virginia's roadways. x/

DO YOUR PART. Pay attention. Drive at speeds reasonable for the road, weather, and lighting conditions. Don't drive drowsy, impaired, or distracted. Always wear your seat belt correctly and ensure children, tweens, and teens are properly restrained. 3/

We joined our partners in safety today to honor the importance of National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week. We are all road users, and everything we do while using the road - via vehicle, bike, motorcycle, foot, or mobility device - affects more than just us. 1/

April 22nd is National Go Orange Day! Wear your brightest orange attire to shine a light on the importance of work zone safety EVERYDAY! Safe Actions Save Lives! #GoOrangeDay #Orange4Safety #NationalWorkZoneAwarenessWeek

...and other authorized vehicles with flashing lights! It's a law in all 50 states.

The final day of #Lifesavers2026 has begun! Plus, a round-up of interesting slides from yesterday.

Replace mom with dad, sister, grandpa, best friend, wife... so many people in our lives don't want to hear from us while we're driving. They would rather we get to our destinations safely and THEN hear from us. Put the phone down. Stay focused. Don't drive distracted.

Behind every tow truck, emergency vehicle or work zone is a person doing their job in a high-risk environment. One simple action can protect them: slow down and move over. #MoveOverMonday #NationalWorkZoneAwarenessWeek

We appreciate each and every Child Passenger Safety Technician and child passenger safety advocate. Your work does not go unnoticed! #KeepEachOtherSafe #Safety #CarSeat #Education #Parents #Children @NSCsafety

MADD and @AAA want to remind you: If your plans are elevated, your driving shouldn’t be. Pass the keys to someone sober and keep the night rolling. #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #weed #thc #marijuana

Someone has really been slacking on providing you a semi-daily dose of Local Heroes discussing the importance of distracted driving enforcement. Here's your much-delayed next dose of Local Heroes from the Metro Valley! @WVStatePolice @KanawhaSheriff @CharlestonPDWV

It's National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week. We may give extra reminders this week, but work zone safety is important year-round. Every worker is someone's loved one. YOU have the responsibility of keeping yourself and others safe on the roadways, including in work zones.

"Supporting a culture of safety so people can live their fullest lives." This statement from the @NSCsafety so simply explains why we all do what we do. We want to prevent traffic fatalities to make sure each of you lives out your fullest, longest life. #Lifesavers2026

While today may not mean anything to some, it's an unofficial holiday for others. Driving impaired is driving impaired regardless of the substance. Do your part to keep yourself and others safe on the roadways. If you've used a marijuana product, don't get behind the wheel.

Day 2 of #Lifesavers2026 is about to begin with a child passenger safety session (for me). BONUS: a round-up of some of yesterday's presentations and exhibits
