Description:On Friday, September 27, 2019, a 42-year-old male construction worker (the victim) was traveling on a major, four-lane interstate en route to an out-of-state destination to pick up supplies when he failed to notice that traffic had stopped due to an earlier collision. As a result, the victim's vehicle struck the rear of a semi-trailer. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS - Key contributing factors identified in this investigation include: 1. Advanced warning signage. 2. Fatigue related work schedule. 3. Failing to wear seat belt. RECOMMENDATIONS - Kentucky FACE investigator concluded that, to help prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Warning devices should be utilized to alert motorist of slow or stopped traffic. 2. Employers should consider installing driver facing cameras to monitor seat belt usage. 3.
