Hundreds of construction workers across California, Nevada and Arizona gathered at PENTA-led industry symposium to prioritize safety on job sites
LAS VEGAS, NV – The PENTA Building Group (PENTA) embarked on a multi-city safety tour, hosting four major events that united more than a thousand construction industry professionals. At its 15th Annual Safety Kick-off, the commercial contractor held assemblies and educational seminars, which aimed to ensure safety remains top-of-mind for those in the construction industry, including its employees, subcontractors and partners.
Spanning several weeks and concluding in March, PENTA made stops at baseball stadiums in San Bernardino and Anaheim, CA; Las Vegas, NV; and Phoenix, AZ to gather industry professionals and deliver its key message of job site safety prioritization in markets where it operates.
Each event included safety expos where industry vendors featured various safety equipment; the unveiling of PENTA’s 2022 safety campaign; an award ceremony honoring individuals and companies with exemplary dedication to safety; and inspiring speeches from PENTA’s executives and safety director.
“Opportunities for trips, falls and other hazards exist on any construction site. It’s of vital importance to our company and the building industry as a whole that every person who steps on a job site leaves in the same condition they arrived in,” said John Cannito, President and CEO at The PENTA Building Group. “We as a company have made safety our top priority and consider these annual meetings instrumental to instilling a culture of safety for our staff, partners and peers industry-wide.”
In addition to its annual Safety Kick-Off event, PENTA’s commitment to safety is channeled through a comprehensive company-wide approach that encompasses quarterly safety-stand down events and continuous safety monitoring on job sites, as well as a strong emphasis on recording, analyzing and sharing data in order to improve safety protocols internally and externally using its network connections with leading industry organizations.
