What does the "Two Hour Rule" refer to in RWP?

The "Two Hour Rule" in the context of the Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) Program refers to the regular review of RWP procedures or refresher training. This practice is essential for ensuring that workers remain aware of safety protocols, changes in procedures, or updates in regulations that may affect their work.

By conducting these regular reviews or refreshers every two hours, workers are better prepared to identify hazards, communicate effectively, and enforce safety measures in their work environment. This consistent reinforcement of knowledge helps to minimize the risks associated with roadway work and enhances overall safety on job sites. It ensures that all personnel are up-to-date with the information necessary to perform their duties safely and effectively, thus fostering a culture of safety throughout the organization.
