June is National Safety Month
Follow Builders Mutual for weekly tips and resources centered around workplace safety.
Join Builders Mutual in recognizing June as National Safety Month, an annual observance to promote hazard awareness in residential construction and to help keep workers safe on the job.
The goal of National Safety Month is to increase public awareness of the leading safety and health risks, and decrease the number of injuries and deaths at the jobsite, on the road, and in the home.
Each week in June, Builders Mutual will highlight the safety initiatives listed below. Follow Builders Mutual on social media for extended content on each topic.
Heat Safety
As summer begins, it’s important to take precautions when working in the heat. Be aware of the basics to keep you safe anytime you’re working outside.
Put Your Guard Up
On average, over 140 people visit a residential jobsite during a building project. Proper installation of a guardrail takes only a couple of minutes, yet it can be the difference between life and death.
Trench and Excavation Safety
Sometimes standards when digging can be confusing or hard to understand. The experts at Builders Mutual provide you with everything you need to know before you begin to dig.
WorkSafe
To promote a culture of safety on every jobsite, Builders Mutual developed WorkSafe, a compact but critical introduction to best practices.
