Great reminder from @USDOTFRA as summer workout routines get underway: train tracks are NOT a fitness center. Find a running trail, walking path, or local park instead. A workout isn't worth the risk. 🚆🚫🏃🏽‍♀️ #ChicagoTestingLab #CTL #RailSafety #SummerSafety #FRA

Great reminder from @INDOT East Central to leave the racing to the speedways and slow it down in work zones. Road crews, inspectors, testing teams, and drivers all make it home safely when work zones are taken seriously. #ChicagoTestingLab #CTL #WorkZoneSafety #INDOT #Indy500

#RoadMaterialsTesting involves more than collecting samples and sending over results. At #CTL, we continue supporting clients through documentation, reporting, agency submission assistance, and follow-up long after testing is complete. #ChicagoTestingLab #CTL #MaterialsTesting

As agriculture season ramps up, this is a great reminder from @ISDAgov to encourage crews to slow down, be patient, and give farm workers the room they need to safely move equipment around. Because everyone has to eat! #ChicagoTestingLab #CTL #FarmSafety #RoadSafety #INDOT

Ever wonder why there are often “grooves” cut into concrete highways? The process is called “#grooving” or “#tining,” and it’s one of the many small details engineered into #RoadConstruction for safety and performance. #ChicagoTestingLab #CTL #RoadMaterials #ConstructionSupport
