Construction workers, who often work outdoors in direct sunlight or in hot, enclosed spaces, are at risk for heat-related illnesses and, in severe cases, death. In fact, construction workers make up about 6% of the total U.S. workforce, but from 1992 to 2016, they accounted for 36% of all occupational heat-related deaths. Learn more about research findings on heat-related deaths among construction workers as well as CPWR resources and solutions to help prevent them in this 30-minute presentation, followed by Q&A.
