Description:Using Community-based Organizations and Partnerships to Enhance Reach and Engagement of Small Construction Establishments
Sue Ann Sarpy, Alicia Stachowski. CPWR Small Study, 2023.
Small construction establishments—defined as those with fewer than 20 employees—experience a disproportionate share of fatal work injuries and increasing rates of non-fatal injuries. It remains a challenge to share safety and health information with these establishments and the vulnerable workers they often employ. To address this need, a community-based process targeting CPWR’s Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP) was developed and tested. ECWTP aims to train, certify, and secure jobs for economically disadvantaged workers living in the communities surrounding U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund National Priorities List sites and brownfields sites. It currently operates in Boston; East Palo Alto, California; Flint, Michigan; and New Orleans. Program participants, including those working in small construction businesses, were surveyed regarding the importance of safety and critical safety needs for construction workers in their communities.
