Resources to Improve Safety and Health on Infrastructure Projects

Construction worker safety and health must be at the heart of every project funded by the new Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. CPWR is urging its wide range of partners – including members of the building trades, contractors, and government officials – to join in ensuring all workers in our industry come home safely every day. To help the industry meet this vital goal, CPWR is providing expertise, knowledge, and tools. They include a new safety briefing paper and a special section of cpwr.com that makes it easy to access proven, free resources, such as:
  • Tools to help plan for safe work, improve safety culture and climate, and comply with OSHA requirements
  • Safety and health training programs and materials
  • Information on best practices and solutions
  • Research on persistent and emerging hazards
These materials address all three of the main categories of projects covered by the infrastructure bill: transportation; climate, energy, and the environment; and broadband. Let CPWR know how they can collaborate with you to improve safety on infrastructure projects, including by providing content for your newsletters, presentations from experts, or other kinds of support.

National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction: May 2-6

This year’s OSHA-NIOSH-CPWR National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will take place May 2-6. The Stand-Down is a week-long event organized by the National Campaign to Prevent Falls and the NORA Construction Sector Council to raise awareness around fall hazards and the importance of preventing them. Employers across the country are invited to pause work on their job sites to engage in inspecting fall protection equipment, conducting training, joining one of the Falls Campaign’s webinars, or any other Stand-Down activities that emphasize and improve fall safety.

For more information, read this NIOSH Science Blog on the Falls Campaign, watch this Falls Campaign webinar on the importance of a year-round fall prevention program, and check out CPWR’s One-Stop Stand-Down Shop to order hardhat stickers, download training materials such as toolbox talks and hazard alert cards, find infographics and social media messaging, and much more.

Upcoming Webinar: Drones in Construction (3/23)

Drones in Construction

Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at 2:00 PM Eastern (1 hour)

According to a recent survey of construction companies conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics, 37% of contractors are currently using drones on their job sites, with an additional 6% expecting to begin use in the future. Drones give users the ability to observe job sites and track progress, but they can also play a critical role in assessing and monitoring workplace hazards and safety concerns. In this hour-long webinar, you will hear from three university researchers who conducted CPWR small studies exploring use of drones to improve safety and health as well as the potential for new hazards generated by the drones themselves.

Welcome: Patricia Quinn, Director of CPWR’s Energy Employees Department & Small Studies Program
Panelists:
• Nebulizer-retrofitted drone deployment at residential construction sites
Rod Handy, MBA, PhD, CIH, University of Utah
• Using unmanned aerial systems for automated fall hazard monitoring in high-rise construction
Masoud Gheisari, PhD, Assistant Professor, M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management, University of Florida
• A practical model for measuring and mitigating safety risks of using UAS in construction
Yiye Xu, Civil & Construction Engineering, Oregon State University

CPWR Data Bulletin: Employment Trends and Projections in Construction

This issue of the CPWR Data Bulletin focuses on two topics: 1) employment trends from 2011 to 2021, including the impact of COVID-19; and 2) employment projections through 2030.

Accompanying the Data Bulletin are three Data Dashboards, all of which examine construction employment. The first looks at employment trends, including overall increases or decreases and differences among workforce segments, such as age groups. The second explores forecasts for future employment in the industry, including specific occupational categories. The third concentrates on women’s employment, with details on characteristics, such as age and occupation.
