Construction Safety and Health Center Expanded to Impact Additional Sectors

In support of the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS) mission, the faculty associated with the Center for Innovation in Construction Safety and Health are available for projects in other industrial sectors. Many, if not most, hazards and respective interventions are non-specific in terms of industry. Similar issues are seen across industries and many of our researchers have considerable experience across industries. In addition, there are efficiencies to be realized by benchmarking what works in one industry and adopting or adapting best practices in the targeted industry. In the coming months and years, looks for cross-sector impacts, lessons learned, and success stories.
