“Safety in the industry is our top priority. Our goal is to provide the tools and resources for individuals and companies to continue making all jobsites safer,” said Mike Burke, 2023 Safety Week chair and chief operating officer at Alberici, a St. Louis-based construction engineering firm. “We encourage those making a commitment to safety during the campaign to commit to a higher safety standard throughout the year.”
Ahead of the Safety Week kickoff on May 1, workers and companies across the construction industry are encouraged to take a safety pledge between now and May 4. The pledge reinforces their commitment to support and build a strong safety culture.
