• Description:
  A key area for CPWR - The Center for Construction Research and Training is translating research findings into products and tools that help the construction industry improve jobsite safety and health and therefore reduce the potential for adverse outcomes. This effort is called "research to practice," or r2p. CPWR used funding from the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) to create the r2p "Roadmap" to help researchers plan project-specific r2p activities, such as identifying target audiences, stakeholders to involve in the process, and support needed to create useful information. This paper describes how the research team developing the Foundations for Safety Leadership (FSL) training program (which teaches construction foremen and other lead workers leadership skills they can use to strengthen safety climate and improve safety and health outcomes) used the r2p Roadmap to plan their r2p activities. The team had two primary goals: for OSHA to incorporate the program into its 30-hour course as an official elective and for construction companies to make the FSL part of on-going safety and health training activities.
