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!
