SLC 2017: Construction Safety at Juneau

Dec. 1, 2017
Juneau Construction Company’s massive apartment project outside Atlanta offered Safety Leadership Conference attendees a clear view of the safety challenges the construction industry faces—and some clever tips to solve them.

Atlanta-based Juneau Construction Company opened its gates to Safety Leadership Conference attendees this week to allow a rare first-hand look at safety management on an active construction site.

Juneau Construction Company builds some of the most significant and high-profile projects across the Southeast and is one of the most respected general contractors and at-risk management firms in the area. This massive site was no exception.

Through the buzz of 60+ workers across multiple active builds on site, we saw the real challenges this industry presents to worker safety and learned how the company manages to keep its crew safe and productive.
