Construction Safety Week 2023

We’re contractors. Safety is in our DNA. We have stringent, respected and evolving safety protocols in place that are widely embraced throughout our firm. So, every year when Construction Safety Week comes around, we take a moment to celebrate our culture of safety excellence and those responsible for it – our field teams. Their ongoing diligence has resulted in our award-winning safety record.

Blach’s approach to safety is firmly embedded in our core values of quality, transparency, teamwork and respect. Through these values, we:

• Empower everyone – from craft professionals to project and business leaders – to speak up and act on any potential risk
• Evaluate our safety programs continuously, knowing full-well the impact they have on our teams, their projects and most of all, their loved ones
• Advocate for improved mental health resources and equipment standards, both of which are known to reduce the risk of injury and ensure safer working environments
• Remain united in our commitment to continuously improving our safety culture, not just during Construction Safety Week, but every day of every week, on every jobsite

This year, the Construction Safety Week theme centers around Strong Voices, Safe Choices. And when it comes to safety, who better to hear from than our most seasoned field personnel. Without these bright, steadfast contributors we are fortunate to call colleagues, our projects would not be what they are: high quality, durable and safely built structures that enhance the communities where they stand.

Check back each day this week to hear first-hand what meaningful safety practices have enhanced some of our teammates’ long-standing careers, as well as the overall success of Blach Construction. Collectively, their Strong Voices truly champion ongoing Safe Choices.
