CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training will hold a webinar, Heat-related Illness & Death in Construction, June 29 at 2 p.m. EDT.
Construction workers often work outdoors in direct sunlight or in hot, enclosed spaces and are at risk for heat-related illnesses and—in severe cases—death. Construction workers make up about 6% of the total U.S. workforce but accounted for 36% of all occupational heat-related deaths from 1992 to 2016. Learn more about research findings regarding heat-related deaths among construction workers, as well as CPWR resources and solutions to help prevent them.
