Steel Erectors Association of America Partners with Safe+Sound Campaign

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Steel Erectors Association of America is partnering with OSHA’s national Safe+Sound Campaign. The Safe+Sound Campaign encourages every workplace in the U.S. to have a safety and health program, a proactive approach to identifying and managing workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness.

SEAA collaborated with OSHA in the development of a fact sheet for structural steel and precast concrete contractors. The fact sheet provides reminders of the potential hazards facing this industry, including falls, struck by incidents and lifting/lowering over exertion. The document also provides resources to help contractors address these hazards.

Successful safety and health programs include management leadership, worker participation and a systematic process for finding and fixing hazards. Safe+Sound Week takes place Aug. 13-19. SEAA encourages employers in the steel erection and precast concrete construction industry to participate.
