• Description:
  Who We Are: CPWR is the nation's leading nonprofit dedicated to improving safety and health for construction workers. For more than 30 years, we've developed free research-based resources, delivered training, and provided health screenings, always in collaboration with industry partners. Research Leadership: Since the early 1990s, CPWR has served as NIOSH's National Construction Center, leading over 220 solution-oriented research projects and providing the most reliable data on employment, injuries, and illnesses. Training Excellence: Through partnerships with NIEHS and OSHA, CPWR offers courses from the OSHA 10-Hour to advanced train-the-trainer programs, bridging the gap between research and real-world job sites. Health Screening Innovation: Our DOE-funded Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) has screened 25,000 former DOE construction workers and helped thousands identify occupational illnesses and access care. Industry Impact: CPWR brings together people from across the country-including OSHA, NIOSH, DOE, contractors, and unions-to advance safety and health in the construction industry. By prioritizing safety, health, and well-being, we help keep workers on the job and keep companies productive and delivering high-quality work. We respond to persistent and emerging hazards, strengthen safety climate, promote leadership, and target hard-to-reach populations. Our Mission: To eliminate hazards in construction by producing, applying, and widely sharing research that strengthens safety and health on every jobsite. We provide resources for the public, deliver training and technical support, and study how working conditions, work organization, technology, and policy shape the well-being of construction workers. Our Vision: A construction industry where every worker goes home safe and healthy each day and transitions into retirement with the health and freedom to enjoy the life they've earned, free from job-related injuries and diseases. Our Commitment: Delivering trusted tools, training, and occupational health screenings.
