A joint study by the J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights and the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has concluded, shedding light on key environmental, health, and safety (EHS) challenges in the construction sector.
The research, completed in early July, gathered responses from professionals across construction and related trades, with the survey closing on Wednesday 9 July.
The findings aim to highlight the realities faced by safety professionals on site and encourage meaningful change to improve conditions.
Susan Baranczyk, Head of Corporate Communications at J. J. Keller & Associates, said: “We partnered with ASSP because of our shared commitment to supporting safety professionals and creating safer jobsites. Our goal is to spotlight the critical EHS issues in construction so the industry can focus on effective solutions.”
ASSP President Pam Walaski added: “Improving safety in construction requires collaboration, data, and a clear understanding of the everyday challenges professionals face. This study places their voices at the centre.”
The results will be shared publicly to inform future best practices and policies.
