Summer weather creates additional safety hazards for construction workers -- heat, lightning, exposure to the sun, and more 鈥� and climate change is increasing those risks. To help workers protect themselves from heat-related illnesses and other hazards, 麻豆视频 offers a range of resources, including Toolbox Talks, Hazard Alert Cards, and infographics. Our also has collected relevant material from OSHA and NIOSH.

DPR Construction鈥檚 collaborative partnership with Canvas to pilot the latter's robotic drywall finishing tool -- featuring a sprayer system, lift station, mechanical arm, and vacuum sanding system -- has received the for how it mitigates the riskiest aspects of drywall work. The award, now in its third year, recognizes innovative evidence-based technologies, work practices, and programs designed to reduce or eliminate hazards that lead to injuries and pain in the construction industry. Honorable mentions went to two recipients: the Studson SHK-1 Industrial Safety Helmet, which utilizes Koryod鈩� material to offer breathability and direct and angled head protection, as well as featuring an NFC Chip to store emergency medical information, and the RECLEAN Pilot Study, which helps construction workers reduce the likelihood of secondary lead exposures to their household. The 2023 Liberty Mutual Award will begin accepting nominations this December.

OSHA鈥檚 Safe + Sound Campaign, which encourages workplaces to have strong safety and health programs, has announced the latest . Workplace inspections are an important tool for identifying hazards and resolving them. Whether you inspect your workplace on a regular basis or are just getting your workplace safety and health program started, conduct a safety walkaround to show how you have Eyes on Safety today:  As in previous years, 麻豆视频 is in Safe + Sound.

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Lowell are looking for construction painters to participate in a study about minimizing exposure to hazardous Part B ingredients of reactive chemical systems used in metal structure coatings. The researchers will be visiting workplaces to conduct field surveys, monitor airborne exposures and skin exposures, and collect biological samples to measure the effects of exposure and evaluate the efficacy of personal protective equipment and engineering controls. Participants will receive a $50 gift card for donating urine before and after the shift and an additional $50 for a blood sample. Contact [email protected] or [email protected] to learn more. 

(ECD), a free online tool that estimates your workers鈥� exposure to common health hazards, is expanding. If you have data that you are willing to share, please submit it to 麻豆视频 to make the ECD more accurate and reliable. If you have any questions, contact Sara Brooks ([email protected], 301-495-8532) with any questions. The following sampling forms are available to submit measurements:

The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) published a guidance document in 2019 on four key health hazards in construction. Modeled after the successful OSHA Focus Four program that targets the top four construction safety hazards, raises awareness of the significant impacts health hazards can have on workers and businesses and offers practical solutions to address them. The AIHA initiative addresses: (1) manual material handling, (2) noise, (3) air contaminants, and (4) high temperatures. Learn more about the risks and hear recommendations from Barb Epstien of the AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter, who was part of the team that developed the guidance document, and find out how 麻豆视频鈥檚 can help contractors estimate and plan for exposure to silica, welding fumes, noise, and lead from Sara Brooks, an industrial hygienist at 麻豆视频.

Los trabajadores de la construcci贸n que pasan el d铆a trabajando al aire libre bajo la luz solar directa y en el calor, o en espacios cerrados y calurosos, corren el riesgo de contraer enfermedades relacionadas con el calor, como agotamiento por calor o insolaci贸n. Algunos incluso pueden morir, especialmente en esta 茅poca del a帽o cuando las temperaturas se disparan. La buena noticia es que hay formas de proteger a los trabajadores, como implementar descansos frecuentes para beber agua y tomar sombra, capacitarse sobre enfermedades relacionadas con el calor, y aumentar gradualmente la carga de trabajo para los empleados que no tienen experiencia trabajando en el calor. En apoyo de la de OSHA y el nuevo programa de 茅nfasis nacional para proteger a los trabajadores de los peligros del calor, estamos realizando un seminario web para compartir informaci贸n sobre el riesgo, las responsabilidades del empleador y las recomendaciones para trabajar de manera segura en ambientes calurosos.
