''' | '''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 under OSHA’s mandate, it encompasses regulations in 29 CFR 1926, training through the OSHA Training Institute, and outreach via programs like the National Emphasis Program on Trenching, reducing injury rates by up to 50% at inspected sites and driving over $1 billion in annual safety investments by employers. | |||
