CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TBI AWARENESS INITIATIVE

BUILDING A SAFER PATH BEFORE, DURING & AFTER A BRAIN INJURY

Connecting construction safety with brain injury awareness, recognition, response, recovery, resources and return-to-work support.

THE GAP WE ARE WORKING TO CLOSE

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY CANNOT END WHEN THE ACCIDENT DOES.

The construction industry has developed powerful systems to prevent workplace injuries. But when a traumatic brain injury occurs, workers, families and employers may still struggle to recognize the injury, understand its long-term effects and find the right path forward.

BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE

A CONTRACTOR.

A SURVIVOR.

A NEW MISSION.

Jon Oswell II brings more than 30 years of construction experience—and a deeply personal understanding of traumatic brain injury—to this initiative. His experience revealed a gap between preventing an accident and helping workers and families navigate everything that can follow.
