Yesterday as I heard the news about a young worker losing his life in a construction accident north of Indianapolis, I was reminded of how important it is to remain vigilant when it comes to safety. At AWP Safety some of us have a saying around here - "Never overlook a defect" - while it's a term that's more applicable in manufacturing then in construction - the meaning holds stronger than ever. Never let a potential safety issue go without addressing it. Don't walk passed it. With traffic safety - we all understand budgets and projects are a factor, but it shouldn't replace the focus on safety. I hear it in almost every conversation I have related to what I do. "We don't want to take shortcuts when it comes to safety" "Everyone goes home the same way they went to work" “Safety First” .....And yet tragedies still occur. I'm encouraged by the partnerships we're developing. The focus on safety is apparent but we never sleep. There's always more to do to protect the lives under our care. The extra steps we take each day to make sure “Everyone goes home the same way they went to work” are worth it.  #createsafetyculture

Today is the second day of Construction Safety Week! It is critical to be safe while on construction sites, and our experienced team has plenty more tips to help you stay safe in these settings. Continuing our safety tips is John Zalepka, our Senior Manager for Engagement & Programs. His takeaways are on the importance of maintaining clean work boots while at a construction site both for safety and utility reasons. #ConstructionSafety #Construction #JobSites

The first step in keeping workers safe is often strong communication. In our latest Longshore Insider blog, Bo Ristic, VP of Safety Strategy Quality at Chet Morrison Contractors, LLC, discusses what he does to ensure his workers are performing their duties safely: https://hubs.la/Q02M3GRk0 #AEU #Safety #LongshoreInsider

My top priority on the job is ensuring that every foreman strictly adheres to the highest safety standards. It's my responsibility to keep a finger on the pulse, regularly verifying that everything aligns with these critical guidelines. #Safety is non-negotiable, and I’m committed to upholding it in every project we undertake. #SafetyFirst #ForemanLeadership #WorkplaceSafety

🚧 #Safety is a top priority. It’s part of our culture, and when it comes to our employee-owners on our projects — it’s always personal. And #TrenchSafetyMonth is no exception. 🤝 Look, #Trenchwork is dangerous. Cave-ins can cause serious injuries. It’s crucial our crews follow the U.S. Department of Labor's #OSHA guidance and keep close to exceptional training programs. That’s why we’re joining the NUCA: National Utility Contractors Association to bring more attention to safe trenching. A robust #SafetyCulture makes all the difference across the industry. As we uphold #EverySecondSafely, we will continue to strive to get work done safely — because getting home to see those who matter most is what it’s all about. 💪 https://bit.ly/3x69XWs

At Allison-Smith, safety isn't just a priority; it's ingrained in everything we do. For us, Construction Safety Week isn't confined to a single week—it's a perpetual commitment. Joseph McManigal, our committed Safety Manager, underscores the significance of thorough training to uphold our unwavering safety standards. #SafetyFirst #ConstructionSafetyWeek #CommitmentToSafety #AllisonSmith #Safetytips #SafetyTraining #Safety

There’s a reason “people” comes first in our core values of People, Honor, and Grit. Our people are the most important aspect of what we do. Here’s what our Corporate Safety Director, Paul, has to say about safety, our values, and why we participate in Construction Safety Week: Living Incident and Injury Free is a core principle at Baker. This year’s National Safety Week theme and the call to “value every voice” resonates with our philosophy. Safety is a “people business.” To get the best results, our co-workers — from every level in the field and across the nation — need the opportunity to provide input and be involved in the evolution of our safety practices. Encouraging, listening, and empowering each other is the first vital step. We then provide the right tools and knowledge to be successful, helping everyone understand their risk tolerance and take responsibility for their safety. A good safety culture is where everyone is doing what is right because it is the right thing to do. To achieve this, we all must be accountable for the safety of ourselves and our co-workers. Baker Construction was one of the first construction companies to make safety their #1 goal, and I’m proud to recommit to this mindset each year. #TheBakerWay #ConstructionSafetyWeek #BeASafetyLeader #ValueEveryVoice Construction Safety Week

🚧 As we close out National Safety Month, we are reminded that even after June ends, at Webber, safety is always first! 🦺 For our #safetytip we shared some tips on how to avoid falls which are the #1 cause of injuries and fatalities on construction sites. #Safety #Construction #WeAreWebber

June is National Safety Month. There are many aspects to safety but today we are spotlighting trench safety. Trenches are common on construction sites, but they come with serious risks if safety measures aren't followed. At LLCI, we're committed to ensuring the safety of our team by providing comprehensive training and implementing strict trench safety protocols. #BuildingYourFuture #SafetyTip

What does it mean to value every voice on our job sites? We believe it has to start with us. That's why this Safety Week, our field leaders wanted to share this message encouraging our teams, trade partners, and everyone working on our projects to speak up, we're listening. #SafetyWeek2024 #ConstructionSafetyWeek #ConstructionSafety #Safety #JobSites #ConstructionSites #ConstructionJobs #ConstructionVideo #SafetyCulture #SafetyMessage #ConstructionLife Construction Safety Week
