CPWR and consortium members conduct research focused on workers, contractors, and policymakers. The Consortium is comprised of researchers at leading universities, at nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and industry. With more than 30 organizations nationwide, the CPWR consortium focuses on issues tied to construction safety and health. To inform the industry and the public, CPWR produces technical reports, magazine and journal articles, newsletters, brochures, pocket cards, and videos; maintains three web sites; organizes conferences; regularly meets with industry stakeholders nationwide; and helps produce, coordinate, and conduct safety and health training.
