To respond to the quickly changing construction industry and support construction stakeholders, CPWR is publishing a series of interactive data dashboards. The new resources, produced by our Data Center, will not only provide updated data but also allow users to access more detailed information and flexible charts than ever before.
Incorporating a multitude of data sources used in the Construction Chart Book, the dashboards draw on newly available data collections from government or private organizations. In addition to categories covered in the Construction Chart Book, such as the industry and workers, hazards and exposures, and injuries and illnesses, the dashboards consist of a wider variety of topics related to the safety and health of construction workers, including emerging issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
To provide timely data, these dashboards will be published one by one and may accompany Data Bulletins if they have a similar topic. All the dashboards will be updated periodically when new data are available. When they are compiled, these data dashboards will serve as the Interactive Construction Chart Book, continuing to provide a comprehensive resource and convenient data tool for our broad audience.
