During Construction Safety Week, May 6-10, we applaud the tireless efforts of individuals who prioritize safety on job sites and at our manufacturing headquarters. At ES, safety isn't just a procedure – it's a shared commitment. We join over 70 construction firms in inspiring safety leadership because together, we build a stronger, safer industry. 🚧 #ConstructionSafetyWeek #ImagineExtraordinary #BetterWithES #WindowsInnovation

"Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success." Our district’s annual Construction Division supervisor meeting last week was awesome! Over 30 Construction Division supervisors gathered to focus on strategy, culture and long-term planning. The team reviewed 2023 initiatives and selected two new initiatives for 2024. Way to go! Together we continue to #BuildStrong! #TeamworkMakestheDreamWork #Essayons #constructionmanagement

Happy Construction Safety Week! We’re starting this week with a Toolbox Talk on Driving Personal Ownership. It’s important that every one of us accepts a greater level of responsibility for our own safety and the safety of others. Some top priorities should be effective communication, accountability, personal leadership, and self-evaluation. When it comes to safety, whether it be an unsafe condition or behavior, if you see it, you own it, if you walk by it, you condone it. #ConstructionSafetyWeek #ToolboxTalk #DrivingPersonalOwnership #ConstructionSafety

Superintendents are one of the most critical elements to successful construction project delivery. Don't believe me? Take a look at the total compensation package for a construction superintendent and see the value contractors place on these positions. Despite this, a recent survey of construction contractors by Associated General Contractors found that 81% of contractors reported having trouble filling Superintendent positions. https://lnkd.in/gzk-GNyd Ongoing research by NCCER has that the second highest factor (behind salary) that construction workers consider when considering a new position is a "clear path for advancement." We also see evidence that when companies make training available and accessible employees are more likely to stay with the company. NCCER's soon to launch Superintendent Certification is designed to help construction firms address these challenges. I encourage you to check out the program and the benefits it offers.

Ted, our Contract Supervisor, just aced his SMSTS course, and we couldn't be prouder! The intense 5-day program teaches those working in construction and engineering the skills to keep themselves and their colleagues safe. ️ So, why is this such a big deal? 🦺 Safety first: Working in these industries comes with inherent risks. The SMSTS course encourages workers to identify and mitigate hazards, making every day safer for everyone.  🥽 Beyond the rules: It's not just about ticking boxes. SMSTS fosters a culture of safety where everyone takes responsibility for their own well-being and that of their team. 🫂 Investing in the future: We believe everyone deserves to work in a safe environment. That's why we highly recommend SMSTS and similar programs, as they're an investment in the health, happiness, and productivity of our workforce. We know that this course wasn't easy, but Ted's hard work and dedication have paid off and we're proud to call him one of our own. #SMSTS #SafetyFirst #ConstructionSafety #Teamwork #Leadership #SMSTS #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyFirst #ContinuousLearning

BAM UK & Ireland being called out for.....taking a great step to prevent more manual handling injuries. Mandating robots for lifting heavy objects. That's as close to the top level of the hierarchy of control [ Elimination of the hazard ] that you're going to get. Nicely done. Cobild, May Constructions, McCormack, Newpol Construction McCorkell Constructions, is use of this tech currently realistic just for Tier 1's? It would be great to see government support available so that it's not just the Tier 1's who get first dibs (any support currently available Construction Leadership Council?). #construction #constructionsafety #safetytechnology #leadership #workersafety #workerwellbeing #c2safety https://lnkd.in/eDrPr_Kp
