DAY 3 – MENTAL HEALTH
& WELL-BEING
Mental health is not approached easily in the construction
industry. Your involvement and encouraging others to raise
their voice can positively change someone's life and includes
more than being aware of how people are treated on and
off the job site or in the office. Watch Erika Fry, Regional
Safety Director, discuss the resources available to Rosendin's
craftworkers and office employees. Our Craft Empowerment
Program (CEP), Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), and
Employee Resource Groups (ERG) are just a few of the tools
Rosendin has in place to support mental health. The most
effective one, however, can be a simple check-in with your
colleagues to ensure that everyone feels safe and supported.
DAY 4 – CONTINUE LEARNING
Did you know your hardhat has an expiration date?
Construction workers sustain more traumatic brain injuries
(TBIs) than employees at any other type of workplace in
the U.S. TBIs represent one-quarter of all construction
fatalities, and more than half of fatal work-related
traumatic injuries result from falls. Watch as Jorge Tec, in
Rosendin's Prefab, talks about the importance of hard hats
and why they should be replaced before expiration.
DAY 5 – TAKE ACTION & THANK YOU
We all have a voice in safety. Nothing we do is worth risking
our lives or the lives of our fellow team members. Empowering
our craft to raise their concerns AND act goes beyond simply
talking about it. We must give our team members the resources
to speak strongly, without hesitation, and have systems in
place to empower them and offer them the ability to act and
provide creative solutions. When there's trust, respect, and
communication, we are all empowered to own and act on safety.
Working together creates more opportunities to improve the
safety culture on a project, strengthen our connections, and
break the patterns that lead to bad decisions. Speak up and use
your STRONG VOICE to help everyone make SAFE CHOICES.n
