• Description:
  We are an institution that has been quantifying results since we began our research initiative in 1990 with the first grant awarded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). And we know CPWR's work of applied research and training in safety and health practices has had an impact. We can count the millions of visitors to our online repository of construction safety and health information, eLCOSH. We confirm the tens of thousands of workers we've helped train. We point with pride to partnerships that bring together industry, labor and government to share knowledge and collaborate on projects to benefit all who work in construction. And we know that 98% of our BTMed medical screening participants are satisfied with the program. But sometimes quantifying impact is best demonstrated with examples of impact. For our Highlights 2011, we took a step beyond brief statements of what we accomplished in the year. We reached out to people in the trades, in government and industry and asked them how CPWR's work has made a difference in their life, their work, their productivity, their health. The results appear on almost every page of the 2011 report - even this one. Pictured above are three young workers excelling in life through the Minority Worker Training program, a trainer who's found our ladder safety DVD is so essential that he always has a copy handy, and a worker who found our medical screening program to be so critical that he promotes it to his colleagues. Now let me turn this question to you: How has CPWR's work made a difference in your professional or personal life? Does your training have richer content? Have you applied what you've learned in your academic or professional career? Did you find that important nugget of information you couldn't find anywhere else? Let us hear from you. Email your "story of impact" to news@cpwr.com. We'll collect and publish some highlights. For now, turn your attention to this annual report and see if CPWR will have an impact on you.
