Each year, OSHA leads a nationwide effort to address one of the most persistent—and preventable—threats on construction sites: falls. At The Korte Company, we stand with that mission.
During National Safety Stand-Down Week, we take time across our jobsites to pause, reflect, and reinforce what matters most: getting everyone home safe.
From coast to coast, our project teams gather for focused conversations on fall protection. These aren’t just box-checking meetings – they’re intentional, boots-on-the-ground discussions about the real risks we face every day and how to stay ahead of them. Toolbox talks during this week often cover topics like fall protection systems, the hierarchy of hazard control, ladder safety, and the proper use of personal fall arrest systems.
In our offices, we typically host lunch-and-learn sessions for our preconstruction and project management teams. These sessions dive deeper into planning strategies, hazard identification, and how to design safety into the work before it even begins.
It’s part of our culture. Because when it comes to safety, we don’t just check the box – we Build Smart. That means staying sharp, speaking up, and having each other’s backs, every job, every time.
