– Health and Safety Resource Information
Jobsite safety is a critical component of the residential construction industry. With over 600 people killed every year by falls on the jobsite, builders are keenly aware of the risks involved in building homes. This is why its important for every member to have a jobsite safety plan that’s reviewed with their employees and subcontractors regularly. And as the controlling contractor on the jobsite, builders are compelled to ensure that the right precautions are taken time and again.
