National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents: April 17-21

SAVE THE DATE!

April 17-21 is the National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents, organized by the NORA Construction Sector Council Struck-by Work Group. The Stand-Down asks contractors to pause work to recognize that struck-by incidents are a leading cause of death among construction workers and to educate their crews about risks and solutions for mitigating them.

Visit CPWR’s Struck-By Hazards webpage for more information about the Stand-Down and to take advantage of free resources. Additional information and resources will be added to this page leading up to the event.

In addition, two Data Dashboards have been updated to provide 2021 fatal injury data. The first accompanies this month’s Data Bulletin, examining fatal Focus Four injuries; the second details fatal and nonfatal injury trends in construction.

New Training Program: Foundations for Safety Leadership for Residential Construction (FSL4Res)

CPWR’s newest resource for preventing falls is the Foundations for Safety Leadership for Residential Construction (FSL4Res) training. Adapted from the successful Foundations for Safety Leadership course, the FSL4Res teaches key leadership skills that frontline crew leaders and supervisors in the residential sector can use to strengthen job site safety climate. Essential safety leadership skills are taught through real-world scenarios focusing on fall risks, which cause two-thirds of job site fatalities in residential construction. Trainers can tailor the FSL4Res to different audiences and locations, including delivering it as either a single 2.5-hour session or as four 30-minute and a short booster session.

New Checklist to Improve Pre-Task Planning

Pre-Task Planning (PTP) – also known as job hazard analysis, job safety analysis, morning huddle, etc. – is a process performed before each task starts to discuss the steps of work, hazards, and available controls. To help construction practitioners evaluate and improve their PTP process, CPWR has developed a free, one-page checklist based on research findings and input from industry experts. Feedback on the new checklist is welcomed.

CPWR Data Bulletin: Leading Causes of All Deaths Among Current, Retired, and Former Construction Workers

This issue of the CPWR Data Bulletin examines the leading causes of death among construction workers, including those currently employed, retired, or no longer in the workforce. Although CPWR and others have extensively researched fatal occupational injuries, there is limited information on deaths not on the job site among construction workers, even though worksite exposures and tasks may result in lifetime health impacts, such as cancers.
