Risk Management: Safety First
Risk management is essentially the effort you take as a contractor or construction leader to limit, reduce or eliminate any construction effort that would pose a safety risk
Prevention in the form of educating, reminding, and having needed safety resources and safe working equipment and tools can reduce your risk ten-fold. But, we need to clearly communicate safety and be consistent in practicing what we are preaching about safety.

Don't Forget to Focus on Preventing Less Extreme Injuries on the Construction Jobsite
Preventing fatal construction accidents is vital but don't overlook prevention of non-fatal injuries and accidents on the construction jobsite
It's not just the big accidents — collapses, falls from roofs, vehicle/equipment accidents, etc. — that we need to be proactively preventing. In addition, construction business owners, foremen and laborers need to be aware of and working to prevent those accidents and safety fails that cause more minor or less fatal injuries
