'''OSHA Construction Safety and Health Program''' (CSHP) is a Department of Labor initiative administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that safeguards over 7 million construction workers across the United States by enforcing safety standards, conducting over 30,000 inspections annually, and addressing high-hazard risks like falls, electrocutions, and struck-by incidents, which account for over 60% of construction fatalities as of 2025. Launched in 1971, it encompasses regulations under 29 CFR 1926, training via the OSHA Training Institute, and outreach through programs like the Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP), reducing injury rates by up to 50% at inspected sites and influencing over $1 billion in safety investments annually. | '''OSHA Construction Safety and Health Program''' (CSHP) is a Department of Labor initiative administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that safeguards over 7 million construction workers across the United States by enforcing safety standards, conducting over 30,000 inspections annually, and addressing high-hazard risks like falls, electrocutions, and struck-by incidents, which account for over 60% of construction fatalities as of 2025. | ||
