Safety Starts Before The Site Is Cleared

Construction Safety Essentials: Gear Up for Protection

Construction jobs come with demanding challenges—long hours, tough conditions, and physical demands. The right safety gear makes all the difference. High visibility apparel keeps crews seen, durable hard hats provide essential head protection, and proper hydration helps workers power through the day. 

The Fatal Four—falls, struck-by incidents, electrocutions, and caught-in/between accidents—are the leading causes of construction fatalities. Proper preparation goes beyond compliance—it's about actively protecting your crew from these hazards. Gear up with the essentials designed to keep workers safe and ensure a secure, productive work environment. But safety isn't just about gear—it's about understanding and preventing the biggest risks on the job...and that starts before the site is cleared.

We're all in together, building a stronger, safer industry.

Quick Tips For A Safer Worksite

WEAR YOUR HARD HAT AT ALL TIMES

Why It Matters

Head injuries are one of the most common construction hazards. Hard hats protect against falling objects, impacts, and even electrical hazards (depending on the type).

STAY VISIBLE IN HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS

Why It Matters

Construction sites are busy, with heavy machinery and fast-moving vehicles. Wearing HiVis gear significantly reduces the risk of being struck by equipment or vehicles.

HYDRATE TO PREVENT HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES

Why It Matters

Dehydration and heat stress can cause dizziness, confusion, and even heat stroke—putting workers at serious risk.

WEAR THE RIGHT GLOVES FOR THE JOB

Why It Matters

Hand injuries, including cuts, punctures, and abrasions, are among the top injuries in construction. The wrong gloves can reduce grip or dexterity, increasing risks.

INSPECT YOUR SAFETY GEAR DAILY

Why It Matters

Worn-out PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) can fail when you need it most.

USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION

Why It Matters

Construction work exposes workers to dust, debris, and sparks, leading to potential eye injuries.

TAKE WEATHER CONDITIONS INTO ACCOUNT

Why It Matters

Extreme heat, cold, wind, or rain can impact safety on the job. Slippery surfaces, frostbite risks, and overheating are all concerns.

KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS & COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR TEAM

Why It Matters

Accidents often happen due to miscommunication or a lack of awareness of potential hazards.
