Question

The federal highway administration reports nearly ___________ work zone fatalities per year

Answer 1

Work zone does not have a definite meaning since different states have unique definition of work zones. Fatalities on the other hand are the accidents that happen. So, work zone fatalities are around 800 per year as recorded by the federal highway administration. 

Answer 2

The answer is: 800

These number of fatalities are strongly correlated to the failure in following the safety measurements that created by OSHA. For examples, failing to put bright colored signs around the work zones, not using lights when being in the work zone at night/dawn, do not use safety rope to reach deep or high places, etc.
