As part of its COVID-19 webinar series, CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training will hold Impact of COVID-19 on the Industry and New Research Initiatives Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. EDT.
To ensure CPWR and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health are positioned to respond to the construction industry’s COVID-19 questions and research needs, CPWR has been tracking COVID-19’s effects on construction workers and businesses—including its effects on at-risk populations—and NIOSH has established a coordinated research program to address new research needs. The webinar will offer the latest findings from CPWR's Data Center and information about a new NIOSH research project to evaluate the ability of non-NIOSH-approved respirators.
