April 2026 Newsletter



This month, we are joining the hundreds of safety professionals nationwide in recognizing the National Safety Stand-Down, an important initiative that brings attention to one of the leading causes of workplace injuries in construction. As the spring season brings increased construction activity and outdoor work, it’s an important time to reinforce hazard recognition, review safety practices, and continue investing in professional training.

Thank you for the work you do every day to create safer workplaces. We look forward to continuing to support you and your teams throughout the months ahead.
