One excavation is part of the job. The other is what makes the job worth doing. Make safety part of every plan, every shift and every decision so everyone gets home.

The habits practiced at work do not stay at the jobsite. When safety becomes second nature, it sets an example that reaches far beyond the crew.

This Labor Day, we celebrate not only the strength, skill, and commitment of America’s workers, but also the importance of creating safer job sites for everyone.

Thank you to the tradespeople, contractors, safety professionals, and crews who keep pushing our industries forward.

From the first concept to the completed installation, every detail matters.

This custom railing project began with a complete drawing package—system layouts, site geometry, material requirements, connection details, and individual panel drawings. From there, the plan became fabricated steel and a finished system built specifically for the site.
That’s what custom work looks like.

At the end of every shift, someone's waiting.
A spouse. A kid. A porch light left on.

Roof Hatches can be as much of a fall hazard as the unprotected edge of a roof - but they're often overlooked. We're working to raise awareness of this potential hazard and help provide a solution for companies and building owners.

When it comes to OSHA violations, fall protection is a repeat offender and not just in one way. Last year, fall protection wasn't only the most-cited safety violation overall. Failing to meet fall protection training requirements landed as its own major violation too, with nearly 1,900 citations.

The construction industry talks a lot about training, and it should. Workers need to understand the hazards around them and the practices that keep them safe.

But we also need to be honest about human attention. Read what Brent Smith, CEO and Founder of Leading Edge Safety has to say in a recent article published in Construction Pros.

Midday transitions can leave workers vulnerable to falls. Contractors can reduce exposure with passive fall protection and brief pre- and post-break safety resets.
