Construction firms come together for “Safety Week”
The first-ever construction industry safety week is wrapping, after having gained participation from the CEOs and leaders of 31 national and global construction firms representing the Construction Industry Safety Group and the Incident and Injury Free® CEO Forum.
Every year, more than 90,000 individuals are injured on construction jobsites across the U.S. A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report found that 806 workers were killed in 2012, an increase of 9% over the previous year.
