April 11-15 is the National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents, organized by the NORA Construction Sector Council Struck-by Work Group. This year’s Stand-Down is expanding from a one-day event to a full week of activities to coordinate with National Work Zone Awareness Week. As the Stand-Down has grown, its topics have increased to include not only work zone safety but also lift zone safety, heavy equipment, dropped objects, and other sources of struck-by injuries.
During the Stand-Down, CPWR and the Struck-by Work Group will host a series of webinars covering relevant topics:
- April 11, 2022 at 1 PM EDT – Preventing Struck-by Incidents in Roadway Work Zones
- 11 de abril de 2022 a las 3 PM EDT – Prevención de Incidentes por Atropellos: Zonas de Trabajo, Equipos Pesados e Impacto de Objetos

CPWR has just launched the Safety Climate-Safety Management Information System (SC-SMIS), our latest resource to help contractors and safety professionals improve job site safety culture and safety climate – and therefore reduce the potential for injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Developed with extensive industry input, this robust new system builds on the resources we’ve created since 2016 that enable firms to measure and strengthen their safety climate. The SC-SMIS includes features that allow companies to measure job site safety climate across eight leading indicators with proven tools such as the S-CAT and the S-CATsc; download evidence-based safety management policies, procedures, guidelines, and templates from a large repository to improve low-scoring indicators; and develop a plan to help put those resources into action.
