CPWR INITIATIVES FOR 2015

 

What do our friends at CPWR have in store for 2015? Take a look at some of the new research projects they have in the pipeline, courtesy of Executive Director Pete Stafford:

 

This year will see the beginning of several new research projects . . .   

 

CPWR has launched a major effort to explore how nanotechnology is transforming our industry, and what implications this holds for worker safety.    

 

Consortium members in California are bringing their expertise in rock and concrete drilling to a new test bench that will evaluate commercially available concrete drills, reporting on factors like noise and vibration.    

 

Researchers will evaluate how contractor and subcontractor prequalification based on leading safety indicators can improve safety performance.  

 

These are just a few of the many exciting efforts moving forward in 2015. Stay tuned - and thanks for all YOU do to keep our industry's workers safe on the job!
