Hazard Bulletin - Struck-By Hazards

Employers are responsible for ensuring that workers are protected from moving vehicles, heavy equipment, and other struck-by hazards. This includes maintaining safe work zones, enforcing traffic control procedures and ensuring workers are visible and alert. MIOSHA is seeing a troubling rise in struck-by fatalities, which now account for more than half of all workplace deaths investigated in 2025. MIOSHA urges employers and employees to take extra precautions, slow down, and pay attention.
