Through the Alliance, OSHA and CSW will focus on the prevention of serious workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, Total Worker Health, and the worksite of the future with all stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle respecting the skilled trades/craft and leveraging the show of force from the Construction Safety Week Platform. The organizations will work together to provide CSW leadership, members, supporters, advocates, industry, and the public with the information, guidance, and access to training resources on the recognition and prevention of Focus Four hazards/High Energy, High Hazard, Stuff That Can Kill You (STCKY) activities.
