In 2025, nearly 1 in 5 highway construction firms had crew members injured by work zone intrusions and nearly 1 in 10 firms lost a crew member to a work zone intrusion, reports AGC. While work zones are among the most dangerous work environments, they don’t have to be that way.

In order to stop the next intrusion and save the next life, ASSP encourages managers to "Focus on the hierarchy of controls (risk treatments) to design a workplace where pedestrian employees do not encounter moving vehicles, materials and similar hazards."[1] Prevention of serious injuries and fatalities starts long before work begins:

⚠️ Recognize hazards early
🛠️ Respond by putting direct controls in place
🤝 Respect every hazard, every life

Cones, alerts, and speed limits assist drivers with navigating work zones. The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® physically separates workers from live traffic, front, back, and sides, so that when a driver makes a mistake, it doesn't cost a worker their life. Every worker who goes to a job site deserves to come home.

No matter the project, every worker deserves to come back safe.

The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® enables engineers and project managers to rapidly deploy Positive Protection to a wide range of work zones and projects that would otherwise be difficult to protect such as: short-duration projects, bridge & tunnel projects, moving work zones and mobile operations, incident management, and more.

Let's break it down:
🏗️ Short-Duration Work Zones
Occupying a location for up to one hour, these projects provide little time for work zone setup. Mobile, rapidly deployable protection such as the MBT-1® is critical so setup doesn't eat into your work window.

🌉 Bridge & Tunnel Work Zones
These types of work zones are often set up in confined spaces with no escape route for workers. Given the high-risk involved, physical barriers that separate live traffic from workers on all sides (front, back, and lateral) such as the MBT-1® are essential.

🔄 Moving Work Zones or Mobile Operations
Moving continuously or intermittently down the roadway, these activities need protection that moves with them. Highly mobile barrier systems such as the MBT-1® are built exactly for this.

🚨 Incident Management
When an incident occurs, first responders can be exposed immediately. Rapidly deployable positive protection such as Mobile Barriers ERB® can create a safe work area for first responders within minutes of arriving on scene.

🛣️ Long-Term Construction
Extended projects mean extended exposure. The minimal deflection of the MBT-1® helps reduce the number of buffer lanes required. Reducing the number and duration of lane closures with barriers such as the MBT-1® keeps traffic flowing and protects both workers and the traveling public.

📌 For a wide range of projects, Mobile Barriers MBT-1® offers dependable safety for your crew and integrated equipment to increase efficiency. The Mobile Barrier MBT-1® safeguards crews against vehicle incursions (front, back, and sides); reduces the number of vehicles and equipment on-site; enables rapid work-zone setup/removal; improves lighting and ambient conditions; and reduces project duration, thus minimizing roadway congestion. The MBT-1® is highly mobile and can be driven to multiple work zones within the same day. The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® provides 42-102 feet (12-31 meters) of positive protection with minimal deflection (tested and accepted under NCHRP 350 & MASH for TL-2 and TL-3 usage).

When it comes to protecting your crew, you need a proven solution.

The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® delivers:

✅ 42–102 feet of highly mobile Positive Protection with minimal deflection
✅ Tested & accepted under NCHRP 350 & MASH for both TL-2 and TL-3
✅ Federal Aid Eligible for use on the National Highway System (NHS)

What does TL-2 & TL-3 mean?

🔵 TL-2 — Accepted for lower speed environments up to 43 mph (70 km/h)
🔴 TL-3 — Accepted for the high-speed demands of interstates and major highways

MBT-1® not only met the NCHRP 350 & MASH criteria for high speed impacts - it exceeded the standards. The crash vehicle’s occupant risk values were calculated at only a fraction of the allowable limits and there was no damage or intrusions into the passenger compartment. And the crash test results speak for themselves:

"[The MBT-1® itself] did not experience any structural damage. The wall plates were not torn, punctured, or gouged. The test vehicle did not snag the wall panels and the vehicle impact did not create any snag points for future vehicle impacts. The only evident damage to the wall plates was aesthetic, where the test vehicle’s paint and tires made marks on the barrier. The wheels scratched the barrier, but the wall panels remained smooth.”

Your crew deserves protection that's been proven.
