Construction Safety Week 2025: Building a Culture of Safety, One Day at a Time

At Parkway Construction & Architecture, Construction Safety Week is more than an annual observance — it’s a daily commitment we live out on every jobsite, with every team member.

This week, we’re uniting under a shared purpose: to reinforce our safety culture through focus, accountability, and empowerment. Across five days, we’re tackling key safety themes that directly impact the way we work, plan, and protect one another.

What We’re Focusing On This Week:

  • Monday – Plan with Precision
    Great days start with great plans. Our teams reviewed how early planning and collaborative input reduce risk and create space for smarter, safer decisions on the jobsite.

  • Tuesday – Identify High-Energy Hazards
    We emphasized awareness of STCKY risks — “Stuff That Could Kill You” — and introduced tools like the Energy Wheel to help crews recognize high-energy hazards before work begins.

  • Wednesday – Own Your Part
    Today’s focus is about individual responsibility. Safety doesn’t come from policies alone — it comes from every person being empowered to speak up, take action, and protect their team.

  • Thursday – Engage and Empower
    We’ll highlight the value of inclusive communication, recognition, and shared decision-making in creating a stronger, safer culture.

  • Friday – Commit to Excellence. Deliver with Intent.
    We’ll close the week by tying it all together — working as a unified team, adapting when needed, and prioritizing safety as the foundation of excellence.

Why It Matters

Every year, Construction Safety Week is a time to renew our shared commitment to getting every person home safe. But at Parkway, we also see it as an opportunity to strengthen the systems and habits that make that possible — through planning, training, teamwork, and trust.

We’re proud of our teams for leading the way — not just this week, but every week.
