Construction Safety Week

Safety is a mindset. It is an obligation demanded of each of us in our daily operations and on our jobsites. Safety Week is an opportunity for our industry to come together and recommit to safety as the foundation for everything we do. This year’s event focuses on safety as the bond that unites us. It is our connection as we work together to create safe jobsites for our workers, having each other’s backs. Working together to ensure everyone works productively and returns home safe and healthy each day without incident. Creating cultures which support mental, emotional and physical wellbeing on every job site.

ABC San Diego is committed to our members in equipping each of you as we work together in creating a culture of safety for each and every employee.

In recognition of Safety Week 2022, we wanted to provide you with materials, resources and information for your use as we plan and prepare for this year’s event.
