The Construction Solutions website, provided at no cost to the user, is intended to provide useful information regarding safety and health hazards on construction sites and control options for reducing those hazards. Because of the constantly changing nature of conditions on a particular jobsite and in the construction industry generally, the effectiveness of any control must be validated on-site to assure that it provides adequate risk reduction. This website is not intended to provide a comprehensive listing of hazards and solutions. It is continually under development, and as CPWR — The Center for Construction Research and Training acquires additional information, it will change the material on a regular basis, without notice. CPWR is not responsible for errors or omissions on this website.

This project is funded by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) grant number #U54 OH0008307. NIOSH is not responsible for the content of this website.
