Abstract:
"In 2004, NIOSH asked the National Academies to review up to 15 specific NIOSH research programs to determine their relevance to and impact on various industries in the United States. The Committee to Review the NIOSH Construction Research Program was composed of persons with widely diverse backgrounds who have worked in academia, government, industry, and labor unions (Appendix D). To complete its tasks, the committee worked diligently, convening a series of meetings (Appendix B) and also employing conference calls and e-mail correspondence. The NIOSH staff provided useful and complete information and was available to answer committee questions. The National Research Council (NRC) staff provided invaluable assistance in gathering information and arranging interviews"--P. ix.
