Abstract:
The construction of highways presents unique challenges to labor protection due to the dynamic nature of the work environment, heavy machinery use, and exposure to diverse hazards. This article explores innovative approaches to enhancing occupational safety and health standards during highway construction projects. Drawing on recent advancements in technology, management practices, and regulatory frameworks, the study proposes a multi-faceted strategy that integrates real-time hazard monitoring systems, wearable safety devices, and automated equipment to minimize risks. Additionally, it examines the role of worker training programs enhanced by virtual reality simulations and the implementation of adaptive safety protocols tailored to site-specific conditions. Through a combination of case studies and theoretical analysis, the research demonstrates how these innovations can reduce accident rates, improve compliance with labor protection standards, and enhance overall project efficiency. The findings underscore the need for a proactive, technology-driven approach to safeguarding workers, offering practical recommendations for stakeholders in the construction industry.
