In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged California, the construction industry faces a critical examination of the materials used in building practices. The "Real Talk" section of our blog delves into the pressing issue of contractors often neglecting to utilize certified fire-resistant sealants and coatings. This oversight not only compromises the structural integrity of buildings during fires but also exacerbates the release of toxic fumes, posing severe health risks to occupants and first responders. By addressing these challenges head-on, we aim to shed light on the urgent need for stricter adherence to safety standards and the adoption of certified materials to enhance fire resilience in construction. #LAFires #Construction #Sealants #Coatings #BuildingPractices #StructuralIntegrity #BuildingScience #IAQ #Cobeal #FireResistance https://lnkd.in/gwpbw5hh

💥Safety Flash 💥 Drop Test Results Highlight Essential Fall Protection Strategies for Steel Decking Safety A drop test was recently conducted by Derr & Gruenewald Construction at their facility in Henderson, Colorado, to replicate ironworkers in the process of throwing out steel decking. The objective of this test was to assess the structural integrity of steel deck sheets under impact conditions and to analyze various fall protection scenarios, particularly what might happen if an ironworker were to fall over the edge of a loose deck sheet.

Did you know? Trenching and excavation work are among the most hazardous construction operations. Safety comes first, always. Let’s educate, equip, and protect our teams as they dig deeper, ensuring every trench they exit is as safe as when they enter. 🚧🛑 #Holloman #Safety #Construction #Excavation #Trenching #ConstructionSafety #SafetyMatters #OSHA #TrenchSafety #ExcavationSafety

In part 3 of our IREM and South Shore Construction webinar series, Scott Baryiewski shares insights into safeguarding parking structures. From the essential role of fireproofing to the dangers of neglecting caulk joint maintenance and the risks of rusted structural steel, learn why upkeep is not just about maintaining functionality but ensuring safety. Don't compromise on safety. Find out how these maintenance practices can prevent disaster and preserve structural integrity. Fireproofing is a Must: Due to the risks posed by flammable materials and limited ventilation, implementing robust fireproofing measures is non-negotiable for safeguarding both lives and property. Seal Against Water Leaks: Tackle water intrusion head-on! Prompt repair of damaged fireproofing and sealing joints can prevent structural damage and costly, compounded repairs. Caulk Joint Vigilance: Regular maintenance of caulk joints prevents water damage and is a cost-effective way to protect your garage. Remember, they need attention every 7-10 years, or even sooner under harsh conditions. Address Structural Steel Rust: Rust compromises safety and integrity. Whether welding new steel or undergoing major replacements, keeping structural steel in prime condition is critical to avoiding dangerous and disruptive repairs. #SouthShoreConstruction #IREM #PropertyManager #ParkingGarageMaintenance #ParkingGarageInspection #ParkingGarageConstruction
