Safety Tip: Falling Objects Can be Deadly
Objects that fall from heights include tools, equipment, materials, and debris. Workers can be injured or killed by a falling or dropped object.

Prevention is key:
  • Install protections on the roof to keep objects from falling
  • Tether tools with proper lanyards when performing overhead work
  • Complete all needed training for the job
  • Inspect your worksite for new dangers each day as conditions may change
  • Wear personal protective equipment
Add a Challenge, "Preventing Falling Objects"

Review this ToolBox Talk for your weekly Safety Meetings. This is a topic for all trades.
July’s job gains ‘shockingly’ strong as construction adds 32K positions

Free Webinar - Utilizing Field IoT Data (Internet of Things)
Tuesday | 09/13/2022 | 2:00 PM EDT

Learn how contractors and technology providers are partnering to leverage these tools to collect critical data points that serve as key indicators for project performance, health, and risk.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
  • Describe how connected devices can be utilized to provide jobsite insights.
  • Identify applications of IoT and new digital technologies.
  • Discuss best practices for implementation and adoption of new technology.
