NGA Supports Construction Safety Week

This year’s theme is Strong Voices, Safe Choices., highlighting why it's important that everyone is empowered to own and act on safety.

"Building strong teams who work safely is the most important job for everyone on every construction site," according to CSW organizers. "It’s our common ground, a belief and a duty that unites us all. The dedicated teams ... overcoming anything standing in the way of getting home safe at the end of the day. Those who are empowered to step in, speak up, and work together to stop anything that puts our safety at risk."

NGA is pleased to share some of its resources that support a safer, more mindful construction industry.
