NORA Construction Sector Council

The Construction sector comprised an estimated 8 million paid workers in 2005. These workers face risks that include motor vehicles, falls, overexertion, and chemicals. To learn more about the sector, visit the Inputs section of the internal NIOSH sector program's webpages. You can also read stakeholder comments relevant to this sector.

A goal of the NORA Construction Sector Council is to identify the most salient needs of this large and diverse sector.  We seek to facilitate the most important research, understand the most effective intervention strategies, and learn how to implement those strategies to achieve sustained improvements in workplace practice.

Please review and submit a comment on the draft National Construction Agenda. Subscribe to the NORA Construction Sector News, an electronic newsletter. The products page contains links to both.

Join the Council as a Corresponding Member to keep informed of activities, provide input on issues to be discussed, and review draft documents. Some Corresponding Members may be asked to join workgroups on specific topics or to join as Members when openings arise. Contact the Sector Coordinator with any question or comment or to volunteer.
