The interactive sessions offered insights from experts on handling worker impairment, creating an effective safety culture, navigating the industry post-pandemic, and more.
During the forum, representatives from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and New York City Department of Buildings delivered the NYC Construction Incident Report for 2020-21, announcing that building construction-related incidents in the city have continued to decrease in 2021, dropping another 10% compared to 2020, and over 40% since 2018.
The forum’s awards recognized the industry’s top safety performers, which included some of the nation’s largest construction firms and work on iconic city landmarks.
