Fostering a Safety Culture: Our Collective Duty (Thoughts of the day) In construction, safety is personal. I’ve seen how vital it is. Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. worker deaths happen in our field, mainly from falls, struck-by incidents, and electrocutions. Why It Matters to Me: A strong safety culture reduces injuries, boosts productivity, and fosters team spirit. But it’s not just the safety team’s job—it’s on all of us. Leaders Lead by example. Workers Speak up and watch out for each other. Everyone.Commit to training and open communication. By prioritizing safety, we protect each other and build a stronger team. Let’s all take a personal stake in this. Stay safe!

🔍 Leadership in Construction: Beyond Blueprints and Bricks. In our latest blog, we spotlight the vital role of site managers in construction safety.

To ensure that safety is as solid as the structures they help to build.

Managing the people side of construction: how to improve safety, motivation and attract new talent. It is a fact that more than double the number of people die in work-related accidents in the construction sector than in any of the next four most dangerous sectors.

Construction Safety Week Ahead At Yates Construction, Safety is our Number ONE core value. As we prepare for Safety Week it is essential that, like everything, we plan our success. I took some time today to reflect and plan impactful things that I can do next week, in my role as a Division Manager and Vice President, that will advance the safety culture of our division and company. I wrote down this little note card to take these ideas with me on the go, so I remember to place that extra emphasis ALL week to promote positive safety leadership. I am hopeful that those around me can keep me accountable for my goals. To my managers that are reading this: What are you going to do next week? Let’s make this the best safety week ever!    My Self Challenge: 1. Talk about Safety often. Start conversations with safety theme. Reach out to trade partners to discuss safety. 2. Take Part in Safety Week Events. Actions speak louder than words. 3. Challenge managers. Seek buy in on engagement. #SafetyWeek #CoreValues #SafetyLeadership #YatesBuilds

👷♂️🏗️ Elevating Construction Safety Through Effective Leadership 👷♀️🚧 In the construction industry, safety is not just a priority, it is a responsibility we owe to every worker on site. A strong safety culture is built on exceptional leadership. 🛠️ Building a positive safety culture starts at the top. Leaders set the tone, lead with safety in mind, and ensure compliance. They inspire a mindset where safety is not just a checkbox but a shared commitment. 🔍 Key leadership traits: - Lead by Example: Displaying commitment to safety practices fosters trust and accountability. - Communication: Clear, constant communication of safety expectations. - Empowerment: Providing resources, training, and support empowers teams to prioritize safety. - Continuous Improvement: Encouraging feedback and actively seeking ways to enhance safety protocols. 🤝 Collaboration among leaders, workers, and safety professionals is pivotal. Together, we strengthen safety measures, prevent accidents, and ensure everyone returns home safely. Let us champion a culture where safety is not just a rule but a way of life. #constructionsafety #LeadershipInConstruction #SafeConstructionSites #SafetyFirst 🏗️🛠️ #Decemberexamstudies

This post from John Bonney makes me think of Benjamin Franklin's famous quote "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." This applies to all areas of life, so here's what this crazy-busy, working mom of 4 kiddos has to say on the personal aspect side of things: Recently I have challenged myself to be more intentional planning in my personal life. Every Tuesday evening, my husband and I have been going somewhere kid-free to plan out our week...prioritizing tasks, chores, events, extracurriculars, short term goals, long term goals, etc. I'm the type of person that thrives with order. Managing a large household takes WORK and it's super easy to get behind or forget things. If I said that all my ducks are in a row, I would be lying! In fact, there is a meme out there somewhere that makes me laugh because it's so relatable: "I absolutely do not have all of my ducks in a row. I don't even know where some of them are and I'm pretty sure that one of them is a pigeon!" #PlanYourSuccess #CoreValues #YatesBuilds #LeadershipSkills
