Improve Safety Training, Awareness with CPWR Resources

Construction workers account for 17% of overdose deaths among the U.S. working population, even though they are only about 8% of the U.S. workforce. Male construction workers die from suicide at almost twice the rate of working men overall.

To help the industry prevent these deaths, NABTU and CPWR publish REASON (Resources and Effective programs Addressing Suicides and Opioids Now). This quarterly newsletter shares comprehensive solutions, important research and free resources that highlight positive steps being taken. Subscribe now and read past issues.

More than a million workers have already benefitted from one or more of CPWR’s free, research-based training and awareness programs. These programs cover key hazards and topics, including ergonomics, falls, hearing protection, opioids, radio frequency radiation and safety culture/safety climate. Materials such as guides for instructors and workbooks for students, videos, PowerPoints and other resources help participants stay safer on the job, and many come in both English and Spanish.
