We introduced our theme for Construction Safety Week 2026 which builds off of “All In Together” and centers around three pillars: Recognize, Respond, and Respect to build a unified call to action on high energy, high hazard work to prevent Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs). Now, we've released our first technical bulletin centered around "Recognize," focusing on the identification and recognition of high energy, high hazard activities and the importance of having a common framework for early identification of these hazards. Check out the bulletin at the link below, share with your partners, and help deepen the culture of care throughout our industry https://buff.ly/VBH3fCk
