In recognition of Construction Safety Week, May 4-8, 2026, NGA provides information to support education and awareness surrounding construction site safety.

This year’s theme is All in Together: Recognize, Respond. Respect; These three pillars build a unified call to action on high energy, high hazard work to prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs).

"By working together with one clear framework we can help prevent serious injuries and save lives. Planning and implementing direct controls is crucial for turning hazard recognition into actions that protect workers," according to CSW organizers. "This year we've launched a bold five-year vision to deepen the culture of care through all aspects of a project where all team members share this responsibility, this respect, across every phase: design, planning, construction, and beyond."

NGA is pleased to share some of its resources that support a safer, more mindful construction industry.
