The NABTU Opioid Task Force, chaired by Chris Cain of CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training, is composed of representatives from the 14 international unions, as well as employers, building trades council reps, insurers, and government partners. Our collaboration strives to share successful strategies, address common challenges, and put knowledge into action through training, health programs, member services and communications.

CPWR, the nonprofit arm of North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU), empowers the construction industry with the knowledge and tools needed to combat opioid overdoses and suicide. By providing essential resources—including toolbox talks, infographics, hazard alerts, and training programs—CPWR supports building trades unions and other industry stakeholders in their efforts to safeguard worker well-being.
