Upcoming CPWR Webinars

Thursday, April 18th at 2:00 pm Eastern (1 hour)
2024 Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents Webinar: Developing and Enforcing Internal Traffic Control Plans
The construction industry has high rate of struck-by incidents, many of which are caused by vehicles and heavy equipment both on and near the work site. For this year’s Stand-Down, CPWR and the NORA Construction Sector Council Struck-by Work Group are hosting a webinar focused on the importance of internal traffic control plans (ITCPs) and how planning ahead to coordinate the flow of construction vehicles, equipment, and workers operating in work zones can prevent crashes, injuries, and deaths.

Learn the main principles of ITCPs and how to implement them from our panel of experts, including a contractor that utilizes ITCPs on their projects, an OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialist with experience in supporting and enforcing ITCPs, an attorney who works with clients to find solutions in the face of fatality and other inspections, and a representative of the Laborers’ Health & Safety Fund of North America, which has been instrumental in the promotion of ITCPs within the industry. Following a short presentation, the panelists will spend time answering your ITCP-related questions, and we encourage you to submit a question or two during registration below.

Welcome: Bradley M. Sant, JD, CSP, ASP, Senior Vice President of Safety and Education, American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA)

Moderator: David Fosbroke, Research Statistician, Division of Safety Research, the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH)

Panelists:
