Building a safe construction site

Article Abstract:

Safety in the building trade can only be achieved through workers' observance of safe work habits and mastery of safety and warning signs. Towards this end, the International Staple, Nail and Tool Association and the Construction Division of the National Safety Council have joined hands to raise the level of workers' safety awareness. The partnership aims to promote the message that safety makes for more competent workers and enables one to engage in his trade for a long time. It is also an important component of a successfully completed project.
