CPWR-NIOSH COVID-19 Webinar COVID 101: Back to Basics

The cold January weather throughout much of the country is keeping many people indoors right now. With COVID-19 continuing to spread, it is important to remember that a multi-layered approach to exposure control on construction jobsites is key. While vaccinations are important and effective at preventing COVID, especially severe illness and death, other key safety measures include requiring employees and visitors to wear masks, improving ventilation and allowing time off for isolating or quarantining when necessary. Join CPWR and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for a COVID 101: Back to Basics webinar from 3-3:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 13.

In this short webinar, Dr. Doug Trout, medical officer at the NIOSH Office of Construction Safety and Health, will review key protections and answer questions about reducing COVID exposure on construction sites. Chris Cain, CIH, executive director, CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training, will serve as moderator.
