The grass-roots drive of industry executives to focus the nation's attention on construction safety has grown by leaps and bounds. Safety Week 2015, celebrated on May 3-8, kicked off in New York City with declarations from company leaders who are taking the time to express their care and concern.
Charlie Bacon, CEO of Limbach and co-chair of Safety Week 2015, says the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration moved its industry-wide safety fall-protection week to coincide with Safety Week this year. Also, 24 industry associations are sponsoring, including the Associated General Contractors, the Associated Builders and Contractors, the Construction Industry Round Table and the Construction Users Roundtable.
