National Construction Safety Team (NCST)

The National Construction Safety Team (NCST) is a program established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. Its primary role is to investigate major construction-related incidents, such as building collapses or other failures, to determine their causes and improve safety practices. By analyzing these events, the NCST aims to provide insights and recommendations that can prevent future accidents, enhance building codes, and promote safer construction methods, thereby protecting workers and the public. The team's findings contribute to a better understanding of construction safety risks and standards.
