CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
The construction sector is one of the biggest in the global economy. In fact, about $10 trillion is spent on construction related goods and services every year, and this is expected to grow to $16 trillion by 2025. This massive scale and growth is also coupled with increasing supply and labor shortages, and a growing number of safety and building rules and regulations. Worker safety continues to be an ongoing issue. For years, construction has led all industries in the total number of worker deaths and injuries - with the average time away from work after suffering an injury on the job in construction is 10 days. Training and appropriate PPE is needed to bring these numbers down. A commitment to safety can reduce injuries, improve productivity and save costs in the longterm. Below are some of the best PPE options for the construction industry.
