In a panel called “Enhancing Collaboration and Strengthening Partnerships in the Construction Industry”, attendees heard from OSHA’s Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs (DCSP), The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) with updates on their efforts and resources.
