This year's #ConstructionSafetyWeek theme is Value Every Voice, and we couldn't agree more. Our craft teams are on the front lines and have essential insights that make our sites safer and more efficient. That's where Good Catch comes in—our program for reporting and mitigating risks before they turn into incidents. #solar #construction #safety

Safety isn’t just about protocols and procedures, is also about empowering every person on the job site! One voice can spark that change, prevent an incident, or point out an issue that protects others. 🦺🚜🚧🌞🌎⚡️ #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyCulture #SafetyFirst #ConstructionSafety #SolarSafety #SafetySaves

As we wrap up Construction Safety Week, we wanted to raise awareness about the risks associated with confined spaces on job sites. ⁠ ⁠ Confined spaces can be hazardous, and understanding the difference between permit and non-permit spaces is crucial for worker safety.⁠ ⁠ What's the difference?⁠ 1️⃣ Non-permit confined spaces don't have the potential to contain hazards capable of causing death or severe injury.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Permit-required confined spaces have the potential to produce conditions that can lead to severe injury or death.⁠ ⁠ That's why at Hellman Electric, our team always assumes a confined space requires a permit until confirmed otherwise to avoid accidentally entering a dangerous situation. ⁠ ⁠ Our team's safety is our top priority, so we work together to ensure everyone goes home safely during Construction Safety Week and every week! 🙌⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #ConstructionSafetyWeek #ConfinedSpacesSafety #SafetyFirst #WorkerSafety

🚧 Construction Safety Week Tip #2 🚧 Electrical hazards are a significant concern in construction, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities. Even if you're not an electrician, you're likely using electricity daily on the job. Extension cords, though seemingly harmless, can pose serious risks. To prevent accidents, remind your crew about the safe use of extension cords. #ACMServices #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyWeek2024 #ConstructionSafety #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture #SafetyTips #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyMatters #StaySafe #SafetyIsPriority #PowerCords

⚡ Shining a spotlight on safety with our incredible electricians at Nardone! ⚡ Meet Ed, one of our electrical foreman, who champions safety on our job sites. “We hold a safety meeting every Monday morning. During these meetings, I consistently emphasize to my crew the importance of remaining vigilant in the ever-changing environment around them. With other trades progressing on their parts of the project, it’s possible they might not be fully aware of our activities. Construction sites are dynamic, with conditions shifting constantly—whether it’s items being relocated, debris falling, or open holes appearing. It’s imperative that we remain attentive to everything happening around us. I stress all the time, really the only one who can keep a person safe is yourself.” Ed keeps his team united through constant communication and self-awareness, adapting swiftly to site conditions. Safety isn’t just a priority—it’s our cornerstone at Nardone, woven into every aspect of our projects. ⚡��� #ConstructionSafetyWeek

Kick off the day right! Don't gamble on what matters most – your safety. Every task we tackle, big or small, comes with its share of risks. That's why we stick to established safety guidelines to create a secure work environment for ourselves and our stakeholders. Let's all commit to following safety guidelines today and always Safety is a top concern when working in the "#Confined Space". In my current role as a Scaffolding compliance manager, I have always assessed the risks to ensure the work area is entirely safe before posting my scaffold operatives to "confined space", and to determine the measures required to comply with statutory duty ... The need for inspections doesn’t go away after you’ve erected the scaffolding. Check the area regularly for hazards, defects, debris, or other factors that could cause a problem. I am conducting inspections at the start of each workday to confirm the area is hazard-free for that shift. Consider using scaffolding safety check-lists to ensure all safety elements are confirmed every day. #our operatives are busy erecting_19m's lift_in #confined_space #Inspector_Ekpo is inspecting the confined space after gas testing and ventilation? #Safety_First.

#Scaffolding While filling the car with gas the other day, I observed employees putting up scaffolding. During this time, it was observed that no #fallprotection was in use. In most cases, companies will have a 6' fall protection requirement. However, OSHA says 10' fall protection. Either way, no fall protection is present; in this case, fall protection is feasible. In addition, the workers utilized scaffolding as a ladder. The job site was not barricaded for public protection—no contractor or owner name was on the job. The wind that day was up to 20 mph for the location. I checked to see if a supervisor was on site, but I couldn't connect with anyone. What do you do as a safety professional who sees this when you are off work hours? Typically, I try to contact the company or the on-site supervisor to notify them of any safety issues that could affect their workforce.

🛠️ In any major project safety should be a priority in your plans. Below are a few safety reminders: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): From hard hats to safety glasses and steel-toed boots, provide and require the right PPE to keep your team safe. Fall Protection: Fall protection systems are required when working at heights, including guardrails, safety nets, and fall arrest systems, along with thorough training. Scaffold Safety: Regular scaffold inspections and adherence to safety standards are vital to preventing accidents. Ensure workers are trained in scaffold use. Electrical Safety: Proper grounding, GFCI outlets, and strict compliance with electrical safety standards help prevent accidents on construction sites. Always use a licensed electrician! Fire Safety: Site must be equipped with readily available fire extinguishers, and everyone should know where they are and how to use them. Before embarking on any construction project, remember to prioritize your safety. Protecting yourself and your team is paramount. 🏗️👍 #SafetyMatters #ConstructionSafety #HancockAndMacarthur

Windover’s priority is always to put people first, and during Construction Safety Week, we emphasize that by bringing our team together to discuss fall protection and overall site safety. Our teams participate in regular safety training, which is not just a requirement but a cornerstone for maintaining our safety culture at Windover. By providing regular training sessions, we can equip our team members with the latest knowledge and skills to identify hazards, implement preventive measures, and respond effectively to emergencies. This reduces the risk of accidents and injuries and instills a sense of responsibility and accountability among our team members. Keeping a job site safe is something that falls to each individual employee and requires everyone to work together. At Windover, we believe in driving results collaboratively, and through that, our field teams can create a safe environment for the physical and mental well-being of the entire project team. #PutPeopleFirst #ConstructionSafety #SafetyStandDown #FallProtection #MentalHealth #Wellness

Safety is important. Too often we don’t take the time to acknowledge our employees whom actually “pay the bills”, for our companies.
