Abstract:
This study offers information and tools that will have broad application in the construction industry, including a longitudinal study of an effective national construction r2p partnership, industry-driven partnership models, tools and resources to promote the formation of partnerships and adoption of research findings, and the establishment of the first national safety and health partnership network in the construction industry. This network will create a mechanism for furthering the research community’s and industry’s understanding of how to effectively use safety and health partnerships for translating research to practice, as well as a place to learn and share best practices and strategies. Surveys of workers and contractors and in-depth interviews with partnership members and network participants will be used to gather information in support of these efforts, including information on awareness and use of evidence-based interventions, barriers to their use, effective dissemination methods and formats to reach workers and contractors, and partnership challenges, key dissemination relationships and resource needs.
