October is upon us which means Nevada Day is right around the corner. Please join us for the Nevada Day Breakfast at Red’s and for Beers by the Bank Saloon during the parade. Both events support our Nevada Builders Foundation scholarship fund.

And as we get closer to that second Tuesday in November, I would like to stress to our members the importance of getting out to vote and supporting the candidates that support our industry. Please contact us with questions regarding the upcoming elections or other issues facing our industry. Have a safe and productive October!

Every year across the United States, workers are fatally injured in falls to lower levels. Are your employees exposed to falls of six feet or greater in a Construction environment? This is OSHA’s trigger height to enforce the agency’s Fall Protection regulatory standard. Do you have employees framing at height, rolling trusses, or doing roof work? If so, have those employees been trained on how to protect themselves? Do they know how to inspect and properly wear a personal fall arrest harness? Can they identify the correct fall arrest system needed for the work they are doing? If you are not sure how to answer these questions, please let us help. Let us assist you in bringing your company knowledge to the next level by sending your team to our new Fall Protection training class. Students will learn critical information about Fall Prevention and Protection. We can also review your program and equipment with your team out at the jobsite where it matters most. And don’t forget, we have some of the best interactive equipment inspection forms and an easy-to-use site-specific plan template for you to access at our website. You can register for our new Fall Protection Training Class and other construction topics at www.pgmnv.com or call us to enroll. 

Keeping workers informed and safe on the job is an ongoing process. Let us help you maintain safe worksites. It’s what we do.   

For more information on preventing falls from elevation, or if you have any other safety questions or concerns, please contact PGM Safety Services, an affiliate company of Pro Group Management. We will be happy to assist when you visit us at www.pgmnv.com or call (800) 859-3177.
