Committee Overview

The Construction Safety & Health Committee provides NAHB members and state and local associations with assistance and resources to help builders operate safe job sites, comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and lower workers’ compensation costs through injury prevention.

The committee guides the association’s legislative and regulatory policy actions as it relates to occupational safety and health reform to ensure that OSHA regulations are practical, feasible, cost effective, and have a positive impact on worker safety. The committee also focuses on developing and delivering safety training and OSHA compliance assistance materials specific to the residential construction industry.

In partnership with Builders Mutual, the committee annually hosts the Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE) awards program, which acknowledges and honors home building professionals who develop and implement quality safety programs and activities.
