The IBS Jobsite Safety Zone is back and bigger than ever for the 2025 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, Feb. 25-27.
Due to an overwhelming response from 2024 exhibitors, the Safety Zone has expanded its area and exhibitors by 50% in 2025.
You can find all the tools, equipment and apparel to stay safe on the jobsite, including helmets, gloves, vests, eye and ear protection, boots, fall arrest systems, safety ladders, saw guards, guardrails, portable stair and scaffolding systems.
Beyond the great products, there will be live training sessions and demonstrations every day from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Job-Site Safety Institute Training Pavilion in the Builders Mutual booth. Learn how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED), how to navigate an OSHA inspection and how to properly administer Narcan. Plus, see all the exhibitor products in action on the training stage.
Builders Mutual and NAHB will also hold the annual Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE Awards) ceremony, recognizing the top professionals who have made successful efforts to advance safety in the industry, at the Builders Mutual booth on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 4 p.m.
The Jobsite Safety Zone will be in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, among the other construction tools and equipment and outdoor living and leisure products.
