Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announced its sponsorship of Construction Safety Week 2025, set to take place from May 5 to 9, encouraging the entire contracting community to prioritize industry safety.
“Total human health and safety are core values in building safer cultures, jobsites and employees, and a tangible way to improve those core values is by participating in Construction Safety Week,” Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO said
“This week is much more than a campaign. It’s a national movement to ensure every construction worker goes home safer, happier, healthier and fulfilled every single day.”
Construction Safety Week was launched in 2014 when over 40 national and global construction firms, including more than a dozen ABC members, collaborated to promote jobsite safety. Since then, the event has grown to nearly 120 supporters, sponsors and advocates, with over 900 companies participating and hosting events. It has reached nearly 2.65 million people.
"Construction Safety Week showcases the construction industry at its best — united and driven by a shared commitment to protecting lives and ensuring safety on every jobsite,” Mike Choutka, 2025 chair of Construction Safety Week and CEO of Hensel Phelps in Greeley, Colorado said.
“This year’s theme, “All in Together,” emphasizes the power of collaboration through its three key pillars: plan, own, commit. It’s a statement that safety is the foundation of success and that every team member is valued. Companies that demonstrate a commitment to safety are shaping the future of a stronger, safer industry for all.”
“ABC calls on the industry to place more emphasis on total human health, which creates the conditions for all employees to be fully present on the jobsite from a body, mind, heart and soul perspective,” Greg Sizemore, ABC vice president of health, safety, environment and workforce development said.
“One such tool is ABC’s STEP Health and Safety Management System, which fully incorporates total human health, leading participants beyond observable safety behavior to the whole-person approach. We must also be relentless in ensuring every employee leaves the jobsite in the same or better condition than when they arrived.”
The Construction Safety Week website offers contractors planning resources, best practices, communication tools and a media relations toolkit to support participation in the event.
