Did you know that wood can enhance your well-being? 🌲 Research indicates that incorporating wood into your workplace can lower heart rates and stress, boost immune systems, improve employee morale, and increase productivity. This is just one of the many exciting potentials of mass timber. Join our Director of Mass Timber, Patrick Crabbe, on the Better Buildings for Humans Podcast as he delves into the numerous benefits of mass timber. From its biophilic benefits to reducing carbon emissions and offering surprising fire resistance, this innovative material holds game-changing potential for modern construction. Patrick shares, “When people build with mass timber, you’ll never hear them say, ‘I will never do that again.’ It’s always more like, ‘Wow, I’m looking forward to the next mass timber project to understand how we can improve and move forward.’” Bird is a North American leader in wood construction, boasting unmatched expertise, experience, and supply chain knowledge. We're committed to investing in low-carbon building solutions to reduce the environmental impact of our industry through mass timber.

At Bird, a safe work environment is non-negotiable. A huge thank you to our Noventa Energy Partners Toronto Western Hospital WET System Project team for hosting a collaborative HECA Calibration Workshop with Bird leaders across safety, operations, and our Ontario Buildings group, as well as AtkinsRéalis. Led by Arnaldo Bayona from the Construction Safety Research Alliance, we aligned on best practices for High Energy Control Assessments (HECA) and pre-job briefs. HECAs improve worker safety by ensuring there is a direct control in place to reduce or eliminate hazards on site. With such an exciting and complex undertaking like the Noventa Toronto Western Hospital WET project, this workshop was the perfect opportunity to perform HECAs on high-energy work activities and engage our workers in the field. We are proud to contribute to safer work environments and reduce SIF incidents!
