🦺 Safety Day Workshops

🚨 Behavioral Indicators of Violence & De-Escalation Techniques for Construction

🕗 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Construction job sites are fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and when tensions rise, conflicts can escalate quickly if warning signs are missed. This session helps safety professionals recognize warning signs and apply practical de-escalation strategies to keep jobsites safe and productive.

💙Strong Minds, Safer Sites: Elevating Mental Health Conditions

🕘 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM
This one-hour session will explore practical, field-tested strategies for addressing mental health and well-being across construction teams. Tailored for construction industry professionals, the discussion will examine how stress, fatigue, and other challenges show up on jobsites, along with ways to recognize early warning signs and respond effectively. Grounded in the principles of active caring, the session will highlight how everyday actions like checking in, noticing changes in behavior, and starting direct conversations can strengthen trust and reinforce a culture where mental health is treated as a core component of overall safety. Attendees will leave with clear, actionable steps to integrate these practices into daily safety routines and team interactions.

👷 Who Is the Competent Person? Panel Discussion

🕥 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
