Safety
Environmental, Health & Safety Resource Page
Jobsite safety is a critical component of the construction industry. With hundreds of people killed and thousands more injured every year by falls and other hazards on the jobsite, builders are keenly aware of the risks involved in construction. This is why it's important for every member to have a jobsite safety plan that's reviewed with their employees and subcontractors regularly. Regular safety meetings and training are a must in helping to eliminate or control job site hazards and to ensure that the right precautions are taken every time. Whether you are updating your safety plan, creating a new one or developing your safety training please review these comprehensive resources available to you.
