National Struck-by Stand-Down Planned for April 26

CPWR and the NORA Construction Sector Council are planning a second annual Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents in Construction for April 26.

The Stand-Down, to take place on the first day of National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 26-30), asks contractors to pause work to recognize that struck-by incidents are a leading cause of death among construction workers and to educate their crews about risks and solutions for mitigating them.

To make the Stand-Down a success during COVID-19, contractors, workers and other stakeholders are encouraged to participate virtually.

More information on ways to participate will be posted on CPWR’s Work Zone Safety webpage soon.
