Roughly three quarters of worker deaths at road construction sites involve a vehicle. Here is what 29 CFR 1926 Subpart G requires, what it does not cover, and how to plan for an intrusion.

A bridge deck failed during a pour in Maine and federal researchers were called in. The formwork standard is only half the story. The other half is who on the crew can say stop.

Bank of America pledged $250 billion to US infrastructure over 18 months. Everyone is pricing the power and labor constraints. Almost nobody is pricing the safety prequalification gap.

OSHA opens public hearings August 19 on more than 20 deregulatory proposals, including one that would delete the 2036 fixed ladder fall protection deadline. Here is what actually changes.

A fatal trench collapse in Stockton killed two workers in a ten foot excavation in August 2026. Here is what the excavation standard requires, what the data shows, and a toolbox talk you can run tomorrow.

Safe + Sound Week is a prompt, not a program. Here is a 30-day plan for turning one week of activity into something that is still running in November.

OSHA built Safe + Sound Week 2026 around safety recognition programs. The most common version in construction rewards the absence of a number, and that is a problem.

OSHA's Safe + Sound Week runs August 10-16, 2026, with a focus on safety recognition programs. Here is what the week actually is and how to take part without losing a shift.

2 World Trade Center just broke ground and stadiums and transit jobs are ramping up nationwide. Every mobilization floods sites with new workers during their highest-risk window.

The industry is short roughly 439,000 workers while more than 400 data centers are under development. A 30 percent wage premium does not create experience. It moves it, and it moves it off your job.

Every orientation says anyone can stop work. Then a year goes by on a site with two hundred people and it happens twice. The gap is not that people do not care. It is that the cost is immediate and the benefit is invisible.

Fall protection has topped OSHA's citation list for 15 straight years. Here's what the 2024 fall data shows, plus a jobsite checklist to keep your crew off the ground.

Most contractors know their experience modification rate is a number GCs care about. Fewer know it punishes frequency over severity, lags by years, and can be explained. Here is how it really works.

Total OSHA Top 10 citations dropped from 28,337 to 23,537 in FY2025. Almost every category improved. One did not, and the reason says something about which hazards a jobsite can fix by trying harder.

OSHA penalties hit record highs in 2026, but the fines that sink contractors usually come from paperwork, not the obvious hazard. Here is what inspectors actually pull first.

Hensel Phelps won a $120.2 million USACE contract at the Air Force Academy. Federal construction work runs on EM 385-1-1, not just OSHA. Here's what that means before you bid.

A 22-year-old worker died when a crane jib collapsed at an Indiana wind farm. Here's what OSHA's crane standard requires before your next extension.

A low recordable rate does not mean you are protecting people from what actually kills them. Why SIF and energy-based safety change the question you ask on a jobsite.

OSHA proposed nearly $300,000 in penalties after a worker was fatally trapped in a confined space beneath a Texas elementary school. The citations include a willful violation for removing factory rollover protection.

A 23-year-old worker died and two more were injured in three separate trench collapses across Southeast Michigan within 48 hours. Here's what protective systems should have been in place.

AI cameras can spot a missing harness before the fall and a trespasser at 2 AM. They can also get a man fired from an office 400 miles away. The difference is implementation.

A mechanical watch stays accurate because every failure is anticipated and compensated for. The best job hazard analyses work the same way. Here is what horology teaches about building controls that survive a real day on site.

Construction workers die by suicide at a rate higher than any other industry. Higher than falls. Higher than the Fatal Four combined. Here's why mental health is a jobsite safety issue and what it actually takes to address it.

Fall protection has been OSHA's most cited construction standard for over a decade. Here's the full 2024 top 10 list, why these violations keep showing up, and what they actually mean for your site.
