Presented by:
Chris Trahan Cain, Executive Director, CPWR - The Center for Construction Research and Training
Christine Branche, Ph.D, Principal Associate Director, NIOSH, and Director, Office of Construction Safety and Health
Scott Ketcham, Deputy Director, OSHA Directorate of Construction
Falls are the top cause of construction fatalities and account for 1/3 of on-the-job injuries and deaths in the industry. In 2012, CPWR, NIOSH, and OSHA together launched a national construction fall prevention campaign. This hour-long webinar will bring together leaders from all three organizations to showcase the past successes of the campaign and its major event, the National Safety Stand-Down, as well as to highlight plans for 2018. This year's Stand-Down is scheduled for May 7th-11th.
