NORA Construction Sector Strategic Goals
Goal 3.0: Reduce fatal and serious injuries associated with struck-by incidents associated with objects, vehicles, and collapsing materials and structures.
| Intermediate Goal Number |
Goal Description |
Status |
| 3.1 |
Objects: Improve understanding of risk factors associated with struck-by fatalities and serious injuries associated with falling, flying, swinging, and rolling objects; compare findings to existing regulations and guidance. |
 No Work Underway
|
| 3.2 |
Objects: Use risk factor and gap information to develop and evaluate interventions and guidance for preventing struck-by injuries involving falling, flying, swinging, and rolling objects. Partner with construction stakeholders to disseminate resulting interventions. |
No Work Underway
|
| 3.3 |
Vehicles: Evaluate strategies to reduce worker exposure to being run over by heavy construction vehicles and equipment. |
 Some Work Underway or Planned
|
| 3.4 |
Vehicles: Promote the availability and use of operator visibility limit information for road construction equipment. |
No Work Underway
|
| 3.5 |
Vehicles: Evaluate worker injury risks associated with the expanded use of night work in the road construction industry. |
No Work Underway
|
| 3.6 |
Vehicles: Gain widespread usage of effective prevention measures in the road construction industry |
Some Work Underway or Planned
|
| 3.7 |
Collapsing Materials/Structures: Characterize circumstances and risk factors associated with common construction collapses (e.g. scaffolding, cranes, formwork, demolition work, partially built structures) |
No Work Underway
|
| 3.8 |
Collapsing Materials/Structures: Partner with construction stakeholders to greatly increase the diffusion of existing effective practices for preventing fatalities and serious injuries associated with trench collapses. |
