CIB W099 Safety, Health and Wellbeing in Construction Research Webinar

'Remember the dead, and fight like hell for the living’
This research webinar with Profs Billy Hare and Fred Sherratt introduce CIB W099 - Safety, Health and Wellbeing in Construction, its activities and how to become involved.
CIB Working Commission W099 is committed to the advancement of the safety, health and wellbeing (SHW) of the construction industry workforce across the world. This includes both blue collar (e.g. site trades) and white collar (professional) workers, with due recognition that it is frontline construction-site workers who are most at risk of injury, illness and death on sites.
Not only does our research look to site-based fundamentals of good SHW management, but also to the wider industry factors that also have influence. Thus our scope is broad, including but not limited to the research of design, procurement, planning, training, leadership and organisational culture, as they influence the SHW of the workforce as a whole. Such upstream activities influence working practices in both professional offices and on sites, and thus there is little construction industry activity that is not relevant to our Commission when viewed through a SHW lens.
Construction SHW in ‘developing’ countries is significantly different to that in ‘developed’ countries. The Commission is actively working towards bringing researchers together from across the world to explore shared learnings and research directions able to be of benefit to both contexts.
