May is Safe Jobs for Youth Month

As the summer job season approaches, many young people are entering the workforce for the very first time. There’s a good chance no one has ever told them about their rights on the job, or how to stay safe at work.

Every 6 minutes, somewhere in the U.S. a teenager is injured seriously enough on the job to go to a hospital emergency room. 30-50 teens die from their injuries each year. These injuries and deaths can be prevented if we: 

• Know the laws
• Make sure teens are doing appropriate work
• Make sure teen workers are trained and supervised
• Help teens learn to ask for help when they need it

Our Pledge for Safety Week - Get Safety Qualified For FREE

In conjunction with Safety Week, we have partnered up with Procore to introduce an online safety program, free to the construction industry, for individuals and jobsite teams to participate in and become Procore Safety Qualified (PSQ). The program is designed to give construction professionals the tools they need to create a culture of safety and increase awareness on the jobsite.

“The Construction Safety initiative is an extremely important one. We believe in what Procore is doing through their Safety Qualified Program and we are happy to partner with the company in order to get resources to construction professionals throughout the industry.” -- Marjorie Del Toro, Founder and CEO of ehsInc.org.
 
The PSQ Program consists of 5 live-action courses that re-energize and unite project teams around the “why” of safety, instead of just the memorizing of rules and regulations. As our commitment to the cause, this holistic safety program, focused on best practices to avoid the top OSHA safety violations, is FREE to the industry.

Upon completion of the program, participants receive 5 continuing education units approved by many leading construction associations and a hard hat sticker as a representation of their commitment to safety, to themselves and to their project team. Each one of the five classes focuses on one of the top 5 OSHA safety violations. These include: 

Lockout Tagout
Become familiar with Lockout Tagout, OSHA's set of practices that safeguards workers from both the unexpected energization of equipment or the release of hazardous energy during service and maintenance of equipment.
