In collaboration with several universities and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), CPWR-The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) has developed several resources to help the construction industry understand the science and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine. These resources will be updated as new research and information becomes available. Please visit CPWR’s COVID-19 Vaccine Resources page or the CPWR COVID-19 Construction Clearinghouse for the most up-to-date information on vaccines.

• Why Is It Important For Construction Workers to Get Vaccinated?
• Promoting Vaccination Among Small Construction Firms
• COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs for the Construction Industry (Version 6: 12/2/21)
  • Also available in Spanish: Preguntas frecuentes sobre la vacuna contra la COVID-19 para la industria de la construcción (Versión 5: 9/3/21)
• Infographics on COVID-19 vaccine (English and Spanish)

To continue raising awareness of construction hazards and the need for improved safety in the industry, CPWR’s Data Center has developed the Construction Fatality Map Dashboard. It builds on the Construction Fatality Maps, which were launched in 2011 to support the National Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction. The new dashboard combines data from OSHA fatality investigations and online media sources gathered since 2011. It allows computer or mobile device users to search construction fatalities by four filters: Year, Event Type (major categories such as falls), State, and Date.

This issue of the CPWR Data Bulletin examines fatal and nonfatal struck-by injuries in construction from 2011 through 2019, identifying trends by subsector and injury cause.
