PPE use in construction is up but could improve, says ISEA
Results from a new survey of construction safety leaders show that safety equipment use and awareness in heavy construction continue to rise, even though many workers in dangerous jobs remain under-protected.
The new findings come from the third study sponsored by the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) to track safety equipment use and awareness levels. Strategic Marketing Associates (SMA), a Stow, Ohio-based research firm that specializes in the construction industry, conducted the studies through a combination of questionnaires and telephone interviews involving more than 200 safety leaders in both the private and public sectors.
