Safety Tips: Construction Safety Week May 2 - 6 |
|
CONNECTED. SUPPORTED. SAFE.
Safety is a bond that unites us. It’s our connection to each other, and to something bigger than ourselves. Being connected gives us strength, because it means we are not alone in building a stronger, safer industry, and in creating a safe, supportive environment for our workers.
Supported means we are here for one another, and we have each other’s backs in every possible way, providing the tools and resources necessary to ensure everyone can do their best work and return home safely every day. When we’re connected and supported, we are better able to help ourselves and our teams stay present and focused on the job. We are better able to create a culture and workplace where everyone feels safe. The more we stay connected and committed, the more we can show up fully to support one another. And the more we feel supported, the more safe choices we make, and the better work we deliver, leading to safer selves, safer teams and safer job sites.
This year, National Construction Safety Week is the first week in May, which is also Mental Health Awareness Month. The overlap is significant because there’s a strong and vital link because the mental health of construction workers and their safety.
