Research Projects:

    1. UAVs (Drones) Safety in Construction: Developing new training and educational materials on unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) hazards in the construction industry, including safe use and hazard recognition of unmanned aerial vehicles in construction (link to developed training material).
    2. Personalized Safety Training on Infectious Diseases, Including COVID-19 for Small Construction Companies on the East Coast: Providing 30-minute to 3-hour COVID-19 training sessions to 540 employers and workers in the construction industry. Training will meet the needs of the target audiences, including youth, low/non-literate, temporary, minority, at-risk, and hard-to-reach workers.
