Originally presented Dec. 1, 2022. CPWR is developing a pilot planning program to prevent struck-by incidents in construction that will focus on improving pre-job and pre-task planning among contractors and workers. The program will include a step-by-step planning guide with supplemental training resources, nudges, and reminders to encourage regular and ongoing planning to prevent injuries from heavy equipment, passenger vehicles, cranes, falling or flying objects, and other struck-by hazards. To inform the content and strategies included in the program, CPWR’s Research to Practice (r2p) program conducted a survey to 1) further explore causes of struck-by injuries, barriers to prevention, and ways to raise awareness and ensure use of safe practices; 2) learn about measures being taken to protect workers and barriers to implementing controls for common struck-by hazards; and 3) gain insights into knowledge of struck-by hazards, the role of plann …...more

In this webinar, members of the r2p team will review findings from the survey and share information about the pilot program and how to participate in testing it out. Welcome: G. Scott Earnest, PhD, PE, CSP, Director for Construction, Office of Construction Safety and Health, NIOSH Panelists: Grace Barlet, MPH, Research Analyst, Research to Practice (r2p), CPWR Jessica Bunting, MPH, Director, Research to Practice (r2p), CPWR
