Ask Me Anything: Construction Safety’s Top Priorities

Date: Tuesday March 10, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Construction safety leaders are under constant pressure to stay ahead of evolving standards, persistent hazards and workforce shifts. From dropped objects and falls to head protection updates and heat stress prevention, today's PPE decisions carry operational, regulatory and financial consequences.

In this live Ask Me Anything (AMA) webinar, experts Cam Mackey and Diana Jones of the International Safety Equipment Association will explore the most pressing PPE priorities facing construction safety managers in 2026, and what they should be reassessing right now.

This interactive session will cover topics such as fall protection and ANSI/ASSP Z359; head protection updates dropped objects and ANSI/ISEA 121; foot protection and ASTM ratings; hand protection and more.

Importantly, the focus of this webinar will be fixed on answering your questions on construction safety gear. In this Ask Me Anything Format, attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions live, making this a practical, solutions-focused discussion grounded in standards, enforcement trends and jobsite realities.

If you're responsible for jobsite safety, PPE selection, program oversight or regulatory compliance in construction, this session will help you evaluate whether your current approach is simply compliant, or truly protective.
