Workers may feel safe, but many can’t identify safety systems or report hazards. Experts warn the growing gap between perception and real protection.
March marks the 10th anniversary of National Ladder Safety Month, and Pat McAuliffe of the American Ladder Institute and Ryan Mittelmeier of Werner share insights on common ladder safety mistakes, practical jobsite corrections, and how employers can use free Ladder Safety Month resources to strengthen their programs year-round.
Confusing language, poor recordkeeping, ignored feedback, and fear of speaking up can weaken safety communication and increase workplace risk.
AI is rapidly expanding in construction safety, but poor implementation can create alert fatigue, mistrust, and a false sense of security. Workforce-centered deployment is critical for real risk reduction.
Construction accidents often increase near the end of a shift due to fatigue, distraction, rushed work, and changing site conditions.
Ergonomics training is only effective if workers and supervisors truly understand it—plain language reduces confusion, improves engagement, and strengthens injury prevention efforts.
Cold storage automation increases safety complexity. Smart infrastructure design protects workers in sub-zero environments.
Outdoor job sites present changing hazards tied to terrain, weather, fatigue, and exposure time. Learn how safety managers can identify overlooked risks and reduce injuries.
OSHA requires PPE to properly fit each worker. Learn how poor PPE fit creates compliance risk, common violations, and how employers can build a defensible fit program.
Industrial hygienists play a critical role in HAZMAT response by guiding exposure assessment, PPE selection, and long-term health protection.
