Construction workers and employers build our roads, houses, and workplaces and
repair and maintain our nation's physical infrastructure. Construction includes
building new structures, renovations involving additions, alterations, or
maintenance, and repair of buildings or engineering projects such as highways
or utility systems. In February the National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH) Office of Construction Safety and Health launched a new web
page that brings together all of the construction resources on the NIOSH
website.
The NIOSH Construction Program provides national and world leadership to
prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death by systematically
gathering information, conducting targeted scientific research, and translating
the knowledge gained into products, solutions and services tailored to meet
construction needs. In collaboration with industry and labor partners and
stakeholders, including OSHA, we are dedicated to improving safety and health
conditions for all construction workers.
