Announcement from Safety Week Chair Scott Cassels and Co-Chair Mike McKelvy
June 24, 2020
Construction Safety Week Members, Sponsors and Advocates,
Please mark your calendars on Sept. 14-18, 2020 for our rescheduled dates for Construction Safety Week.
We are excited to get Construction Safety Week rescheduled and believe now more than ever it’s important to recommit to our safety fundamentals that have allowed our industry to be Built on Safety.
As we finish developing a revised Safety Week 2020 plan, it will certainly be different than past years to allow for proper COVID-19 protocols. Although we may need to alter our safety meetings and recognition events, we will still find and promote effective ways to meet and recommit to sending every person home safely from our job sites each day. Our focus will be on our theme — Built on Safety — and our foundational tools, education and processes to ensure all the men and women who work in our industry are safe.
In the coming weeks, we will share new recommendations and resources with you to outline ways we can all plan for Construction Safety Week on Sept. 14-18, 2020. This will include a recommended topic for each day along with ideas for communicating and discussing each topic.
We look forward to another successful Construction Safety Week. Thank you for your continued support.
Stay safe,
Scott Cassels
