Several hazards put construction workers in danger daily. In this webinar hosted by Occupational Health & Safety, CPWR staff will discuss “The Focus Four,” or the four hazards, according to OSHA, that cause the most fatalities among construction workers: falls, electrocutions, struck-by and caught-in/between.
The webinar is at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, March 26, and will start with an overview by Bruce Lippy, director of nanomaterials research, of the scope of these four hazards. CPWR has been a major participant with OSHA and NIOSH in the Stop Construction Falls campaign for years and is offering new materials for the 2020 National Falls Stand-Down. Additionally, CPWR is working with the NIOSH NORA Struck-By Work Group, a coalition of stakeholders, to prevent struck-by work zone fatalities.
Eileen Betit, research-to-practice director, will present the materials developed as part of this program and will also describe the first annual National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-By Incidents, taking place April 20. Chris Le, program manager for construction solutions, will follow with a discussion of innovative technologies maintained in the CPWR Construction Solutions database with select examples for preventing Focus Four injuries and deaths.
