Between 2021 and 2022, almost 450 construction workers suffered a fatal head injury, and another 11,600 had injuries severe enough to force them to miss work.
The causes of these injuries take many forms, including being struck by a falling object or moving equipment; falling and hitting one’s head against an object or surface and coming in contact with overhead hazards, such as equipment or electrical wires.
CPWR has developed materials that show how to protect workers from these injuries, including a new version of our guide to selecting head protection, a Hazard Alert Card and a Toolbox Talk, and the organization’s just-completed webinar series on head protection.
These free resources are all available in Spanish. Also, on the Preventing Head Injuries web page, useful materials from other organizations such as OSHA and NIOSH can be accessed.
