“You don’t have the right to decide for others whether it is acceptable for you to take unnecessary risks.”
A powerful takeaway from the AGC Houston 2026 Mid-Year Safety Meeting. 👷‍♂️🦺
This morning, we had the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, celebrate this year’s Safety Award recipients, and hear from keynote speaker Brad Livingston about the real, life-changing impact of workplace safety.
Safety isn’t just about protecting yourself it’s about looking out for everyone who counts on you to make it home safely.
Thank you to AGC Houston for continuing to bring our construction community together and keeping safety at the forefront of our industry.
Stronger together. Safer every day.
