Resources and ideas for participating in OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down in May 2022
If you haven’t already heard, OSHA’s 9th Annual, National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is scheduled from May 2-6, 2022.
So, what is a Stand-Down?
OSHA describes a Safety Stand-Down as a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. Anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace is eligible to participate; to take part in the event, employers simply schedule some time between May 2nd and 6th to focus on Fall Hazards and reinforce the importance of Fall Prevention. By scheduling time specifically to focus on safety, employees are given a chance to discuss safety topics and talk to management about fall and other job hazards that may have come to their attention on a job site or in the workplace.
Why is it important?
According to OSHA’s website, “fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 351 of the 1,008 construction fatalities recorded in 2020 (BLS data). Those deaths were preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.”
How do I conduct a Stand-Down?
Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down through a variety of methods… Employers may choose to integrate safety discussions and share resources through toolbox talks, staff meetings or other safety activities. Resources to help you get started include: Suggestions to Prepare for a Successful “Stand-Down” and Highlights from Past Stand-Downs.
Once employers have participated in the event, they may provide feedback to OSHA about their Stand-Down, as well as download a Certificate of Participation.
OSHA provides a number of useful tools and resources that employers can use to plan a successful event for the 2022 National Safety Stand-Down. To get started, here are a few links to access resources that are available now so that you have ample time to plan an event in May:
To learn more about the Stand-Down, visit OSHA’s webpage dedicated to the event here. Participation in the event has never been easier, and it can serve as a good starting point for developing and improving your current safety program now, and in the future.
A review of the leading home builders in Florida based on
new permits on record with HBW during the month of February 2022
In our most recent post, we reviewed the latest HBW
construction data reports for Florida and found that there were nearly 9,100

construction throughout the Lone Star State.
Statewide, there are three major players in the market that have carried the greatest amount of new residential construction activity month after month – Last month, D.R. Horton ranked #1 in three out of four of the metro regions reviewed, having approximately 1,110 new permits on record with HBW. Next in line, Lennar Homes landed in the top five in almost all regions reviewed, having more than 480 new permits on record for the one-month period. And finally, Pulte Homes has also held strong, landing on the top five list in all areas except Houston last month with 337 new permits.

No matter what role you play in the construction industry,
you are certainly facing the woes of disruptions in the supply chain. Spurred
by the pandemic, this ongoing challenge has many contractors frustrated and
wondering “When will it end?”
From manufacturers and distributors to contractors and
installers, everyone is riding this uncertain up and down (mostly down) ride in
the supply chain. The lack of building products is a global issue, and the
construction industry isn’t the only industry being impacted. In addition to
delays and uncertain timelines for projects, the disruption is causing major pains
to the wallet with increased costs for construction materials. In fact, according
to the National Association of Home Builders, the recent rise in lumber prices
amounted to more than an $18,500 increase on the average new single-family home,
and $7,300 has been added to the market value of the typical new multi-family
home.
To add fuel to the fire, a report from the U.S Chamber of Commerce claimed that 92%
of contractors report difficulty finding workers, and of those, 42% have turned
down work and projects due to a lack of skilled workers. For many contractors,
lead time on materials is pushing jobs back up to eight to 12 months or more,
and it can be a cause of both confusion and frustration for clients. For
this reason, it is critical that contractors clearly communicate with clients
about delays and effectively manage expectations, as well as adjust their
operations and adapt to remain profitable. Here are a few things to keep
in mind as you navigate the challenges posed by the supply shortage:
Plan Ahead – For existing clients, it is vital
to inform them of the importance of planning ahead. With the rise in demand and
cost of materials, delays in receiving materials are only getting lengthier;
the longer they wait to make a decision, the greater the delay may be to begin
and complete the job. By planning projects earlier than expected, they may be
able to decrease the wait time.
Be Flexible – While supply chain issues are impacting
the industry across the board, there are some aspects of business that may be
more impacted than others. Although we are facing an inevitable domino effect,
there may be some parts of your projects and operations that you can alter to make
use of what is actually available. By being more flexible in your specifications
and exploring options with multiple manufacturers, you can find new
opportunities, as well as strengthen communications and relationships with
trade partners.
Forecast Cash Flow – When conducting cash flow
projections, it is wise to factor in multiple scenarios; under uncertain
conditions like the industry faces today, it would be beneficial to run three
or more scenarios to be prepared to pivot if needed. When forecasting cash
flow, it is vital to base reports on real data, not guesses based on opinion or
personal experience. To make informed decisions, start with information pulled
from budgeting and risk management activities, as well as information provided
by suppliers to determine optimal times to buy materials based on pricing.
Make it Temporary – Some clients may have a need
for immediate repairs that can’t wait for all materials to be available. For
this reason, it is important to offer a variety of temporary solutions until the
project can commence. For example, if a client is in desperate need of a
re-roof due to immediate damage, offer repairs and remedies that you can do now
to keep their roof watertight for rainy season and protected until the full
scope of services can be met.
Although contractors cannot control the supply chain, they
can control how they manage client expectations, collaborate with suppliers,
and manage operational expenses. While the last couple of years have forced
contractors to evolve and make major changes to how they operate, those changes
are part of a larger evolution in the industry that will strengthen businesses
to better handle “the unexpected” in the future.

Today, we are using the same construction data reports to identify the leading home builders who are driving residential construction across the Sunshine State.
Out of the hundreds of contractors with new permit activity
on record with HBW, the following ranked as the top three for total new
residential construction permits statewide for the one-month period:
#1 – D.R. Horton – 1,893 permits
#2 – Lennar Homes – 1,267 permits
#3 – Pulte Homes – 855 permits
When looking at specific Florida regions, home builders
driving the new residential construction figures varied by location. Out
of the five regions reviewed (Southeast, Southwest, Tampa, Orlando,
Jacksonville), D.R. Horton ranked #1 in four out five areas, while GL Building
Corp took top placement in the remaining region (southeast) reviewed.
