Construction Safety Week Begins Next Monday

As part of Construction Safety Week 2025 and the OSHA National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction (May 5–9), the Safety Alliance—comprised of TAUC, SMACNA, MCAA, and NECA—has developed a new set of five safety videos.

NECA hopes these videos serve as a vital member resource during your own company's Construction Safety Week activities. These videos can be used by employers during various activities including toolbox talks, safety meetings, and stand-down events to reinforce critical safety practices on the jobsite.

Remember, safety is a shared responsibility! Every employer and employee in our industry shares the same goal: ensuring that everyone returns home safely to their families and loved ones at the end of each day. Stay Safe!

Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention

It is an unfortunate fact that construction has the highest rate of suicide of any industry in America. We lose about 53 out of every 100,000 members of our industry EVERY YEAR to suicide. We are four times the average of other industries. We have a crisis in construction and we need to do something about it. You can visit the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention website and learn more. We urge all to take the pledge to STAND UP for suicide prevention and address it as a health and safety priority.
