Catch Live Demos and Sessions in the Jobsite Safety Zone at IBS 2024
The NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) is the best place in the world to see leading products and best practices in the residential construction market. It’s also the best place to get the latest in jobsite safety equipment and techniques.
The Jobsite Safety Zone, sponsored by Builders Mutual, at IBS showcases exhibitors who specialize in providing cutting-edge construction safety products and educate residential construction professionals on the latest in workplace safety solutions.
Demonstrations and education sessions run all day in the Safety Zone. General sessions include Ladder Safety 101, Fall Protection 101 by the Job-Site Safety Institute, sessions focused on OSHA inspections and violation, and how to reverse an opioid overdose on a jobsite.
There are also product-specific demonstrations from exhibitors such as Little Giant Ladder, SawStop, Ballantyne Gear and Diamondback Toolbelts. See the full schedule.
The Jobsite Safety Zone has been around only a few years at IBS, but it has already proven to be a popular destination for builders, remodelers and trades professionals with its singular focus on safety on residential construction sites.
At IBS 2024, taking place Feb. 27-29 in Las Vegas, the Jobsite Safety Zone will be located in the upper level of the South Hall, right next to the Construction Performance Zone (booth SU443 on the mobile map). Just look for the big yellow banner hanging from the ceiling.
