Dr. Daniel Hindman, associate professor of wood engineering in the College of Natural Resources and Environment, and MLSoC affiliate, has spent the last eight years researching ways to help make the construction industry safer by reducing the number of worker falls.
"I wanted to encourage other construction industry groups to learn about safety and some of the current research on protecting workers," said Hindman, who co-directs Virginia Tech's Center for Innovation in Construction Safety and Health Research. "Engineers and architects have a special role to play in encouraging safety, and the purpose of this issue is to highlight that role."
