CPWR’s latest five-year cooperative agreement with NIOSH continues our service as the National Construction Center through 2029. It includes welcoming new and continuing university partners into our research consortium and enables multi-year research projects and programs designed to reduce construction worker injury, death, and disease.
Earlier this year CPWR published five new reports focused on preventing suicide and opioid-related deaths.
