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.
