NIOSH publishes index of online construction health safety resources
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has published a Directory of Construction Resources. A wide range of topics are covered bringing together information from across the NIOSH website.
All the topics contain interesting information and some cover subjects not covered well on the HSE website for example: Asphalt Fumes and Prevention Through Design.
In 2008, there were 969 fatal injuries to construction workers in the U.S. This is more than in any other single industry sector and nearly 1 in 5 of work-related deaths in the U.S. (19%).
The NIOSH Construction Program
“provides national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death by systematically gathering information, conducting targeted scientific research, and translating the knowledge gained into products, solutions and services tailored to meet construction needs. In collaboration with industry and labor partners and stakeholders, including OSHA, we are dedicated to improving safety and health conditions for all construction workers.”
