• Description:
  The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a 30% increase in construction employment from 2010 to 2020. Studies confirm that new and young workers entering the industry face a higher risk of workplace injury. An important avenue to strengthen their knowledge of occupational safety and health (OSH) practices is to incorporate it within Career Technical Education (CTE) at the high school, community and technical college levels. The purpose of this study was to develop a preliminary understanding of the extent of OSH integration into CTE construction training. In a review of the scientific literature, as well as CTE and other construction skills websites and resources, investigators found almost no research on the extent or quality of OSH training in CTE programs. Additional insights were obtained through 22 interviews with 27 individuals (instructors, administrators and leaders of CTE programs and organizations). [Description provided by NIOSH]
