Construction Safety Week 2024
National Construction Safety Week, from May 6 to 10, provided an opportunity for GCA member companies to reinforce the importance of safety with their employees and educate the public about the industry’s strong commitment to safety.
To help emphasize safety as a priority, the GCA Safety Committee created a Safety Toolbox, containing a series of safety topics for GCA members to share with their employees. There was one topic for each day of the work week: mental wellness, heat prevention safety, scaffolds, trenching and excavation, and gloves. Mahalo to all those who used the Safety Toolbox!
On Hawaii News Now’s Sunrise morning news show, Casey Lund conducted live interviews with GCA leaders and Nordic PCL representatives, who showcased tethered tools and a demonstration of what can happen when tools are not secured and are inadvertently dropped from a few high floors.
Mahalo to all the GCA companies for making safety a priority!
