New Safety Standard Aims to Protect Construction and Demolition Workers

The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has released a new industry standard to improve safety training for construction and demolition workers. The ANSI/ASSP A10.2-2025 standard outlines best practices for hazard communication, site safety, and leadership training, helping companies reduce workplace injuries and fatalities. ASSP argues that voluntary standards like this fill critical gaps where outdated government regulations fall short. With construction site risks on the rise, is your team’s safety training keeping up?

SDS compliance ≠ SDS accessibility

Virtually every workplace has Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) - but here’s the reality: if they’re just sitting in a binder, they aren’t making anyone safer.

SDS compliance ≠ SDS accessibility. Workers need real-time, easy access to chemical safety information—not a dusty binder that no one opens.

But that's just the start - as busy safety professionals, you could benefit from a tool that turns your SDS's into real action. Our friends at EcoOnline Global are putting on a webinar to show you how!

Winter Work Hazards: How to Stay Safe in the Cold

Freezing temps aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re deadly. Hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot can strike fast, and icy surfaces turn job sites into danger zones. Employers must step up with proper gear, warm-up breaks, and safety training, while workers need to layer up, stay dry, and stay alert. One slip, one missed symptom, and the consequences can be severe. Don’t risk it—learn how to protect yourself and your team this winter.

Are Your Workers Really Trained?

Think your workers are trained? Think again. Fake OSHA cards, rushed orientations, and outdated training put lives at risk—and the fines aren’t cheap either. Lockout/tagout, fall protection, confined spaces—if your team isn’t up to speed, one wrong move could be deadly. OSHA requires it, but real safety goes beyond compliance. Don’t wait for an accident or an inspector to prove you wrong—make sure your team is actually prepared.
