Description:"Struck-by incidents involving an object forcibly impacting a person are a leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in the construction industry. To find ways to raise awareness of struck-by hazards and ways to prevent them, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) established a Struck-by Work Group (Work Group). CPWR - The Center for Construction Research and Training is supporting the Work Group by developing and providing access to materials and new information through an online resource, planning and hosting webinars, exploring new approaches to influence safety practices, and fielding surveys. Since 2020, CPWR has conducted two surveys on behalf of the Work Group. The first was administered March 2020 to gain insights into the industry's understanding of struck-by hazards and inform the approach used, and materials developed, for the first Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents. Findings from the 2020 survey and Work Group discussions led CPWR to: 1) explore the use of behavioral economics concepts and choice architecture techniques to influence decisions that could prevent struck-by incidents, and 2) begin work on a pilot project to test these techniques and develop and implement a related struck-by prevention planning program. CPWR conducted a second survey in the first quarter of 2022 to inform these efforts," - NIOSHTIC-2
