Over the last 10 years the construction sector has seen significant progress in reducing injuries. 

In fact, they had over 1500 time-loss injuries at one point, and now have less than 500 on an annual basis. We're seeing improvements because people want to see real change. And in construction, leaders have moved from knowing about safety, to really caring about it. 

A shift in safety culture doesn't come easy. But when it does, we can point to one thing that’s made the biggest difference, and that's strong leadership.
