The question, “What is your personal safety plan?” has been asked of tens of thousands of construction workers by our GPRS team during Construction Safety Week (CSW) talks across the United States.
At GPRS, safety is our top priority and one of our core values as a company. Because of this, we were so proud to once again sponsor Construction Safety Week in 2025.
In our sixth year as a CSW sponsor, we had the pleasure of meeting with some of the largest general contractors in the nation, including:
- Turner Construction
- Skanska
- Balfour Beatty
- DPR Construction
- Swinerton
- IMC Construction
- Manhattan Construction
- Shook Construction
- AECOM Hunt
- Hunt/Moss
- Brasfield & Gorrie and more!
GPRS Sales Leader Dave Mulcahey had this to say about the week:
“GPRS was proud to sponsor and serve another Construction Safety Week this year. We had the ability to align with many of our national partners in safety and visited so many major jobsites all across the country. We will continue to preach safety in our pursuit of 100% damage prevention, and for us to go home safely every day."
ALL IN TOGETHER
This year’s theme was to PLAN, OWN and COMMIT to safety because we are All In Together. By going All In Together on safety, everyone can work as one with the same goal in mind.
The three pillars of this year’s safety week - Plan, Own & Commit - all have their own purpose and meaning:
- PLAN: Plan each job with precision, purpose, and determination to keep everyone working together and without risk of injury
- OWN: Own your part in the team’s safety and success, so everyone’s voice can be heard and you can build a culture of trust and respect
- COMMIT: Commit fully to executing with excellence to make your team safer and stronger
CSW BY THE NUMBERS
By the end of Construction Safety Week 2025, the GPRS team engaged with over 12,000 attendees at 147 job sites across the country.
At these talks, our team of safety experts imparted essential knowledge and best practices to help each team member on a job site develop a personal safety plan. Our safety experts also brought breakfast or lunch with them for the crews to help keep team members well-fed and engaged.
Since becoming a CSW sponsor in 2020, our team at GPRS has helped more than 65,000 workers develop personalized safety plans tailored to handle many scenarios they might encounter onsite.
WHY CSW MATTERS
What is talked about and taught during Construction Safety Week is meant to last much longer than seven short days in May. When safety is a top priority on a job site, workers are happier, healthier, and go home at the end of every workday.
Attendees were given the opportunity to cultivate and enhance safety cultures that they can bring back to their team. Attendees’ personal safety plans revolved around:
- Underground utility strikes, and best practices to prevent them
- Heat related illnesses, how to prevent them before they occur, and other climate related risks
- Wearing proper PPE when saw cutting, coring, or drilling through concrete
- Climate related risks on site
- The effects of workers’ mental health on safety and preparedness on the job
LOOKING FORWARD
Construction Safety Week 2025 may now be behind us, but our commitment to safety at GPRS never stops.
Along with CSW, GPRS also sponsors two other major safety events: Water & Sewer Damage Awareness Week in the fall and Concrete Sawing & Drilling Safety Week in the winter. Stay tuned for opportunities to increase your site safety by signing up early for either of these talks!
