Jobsite Safety CommitteeThe Jobsite Safety Committee strives to improve jobsite safety awareness in our community through education, sharing information, and improved notification of unsafe conditions. We believe that safety is everyone’s responsibility. We discuss safety inspections and injuries in our community, regulatory updates on new or proposed safety regulations, and education needs for HBA members.

Scaffolding Safety
Scaffolds can provide a safe and more efficient way to work in construction, but their use is also one of the leasing causes of injuries on construction sites. It is important to recognize scaffolding hazards and make sure every scaffold is set up and used properly. NAHB has two new scaffold safety videos (English and Spanish). Now is the perfect time to watch them with your employees and subs as part of National Safety Stand-Down May 7-11 to prevent falls in construction. It’s important to follow jobsite safety practices all year. Think #safety365

Did you know… two of the inspection types are based on Complaints (possibly from employees) and Referrals (such as those from homeowners and other contractors)? Did you also know… OSHA conducts Phone and Fax investigations? The more you understand OSHA, the better you can protect your crew and avoid accidents.
