This year’s theme is “Built on Safety”. This is an industry-wide education and awareness event for the construction industry. Companies are encouraged to participate to help raise awareness and importance of working injury free.
Safety Week started in 2014, when more than 40 national and global construction firms comprising the Construction Industry Safety Initiative (CISI) group and the Incident and Injury Free (IIF) CEO Forum joined forces with a single aim: to inspire everyone in the industry to be leaders in safety.
Today, there are more than 80 participating firms and associations that continue to focus on the original mission of:
- Thanking workers for supporting safety and recognizing their efforts to be injury free;
- Increasing awareness of the importance of being committed to safety, every day;
- Encouraging everyone to share best practices and work together to strengthen the industry's safety culture; and
- Conducting onsite safety awareness activities to support education.
IDEAS TO HELP YOU SAFELY PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY WEEK 2020:
- Gather for small crew toolbox talks that allow for social distancing.
