On March 1, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it has scheduled the eighth annual National Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction for May 3-7, 2021. OSHA encourages construction employers and other stakeholders to join the event to promote awareness and training to address one of the industry’s most serious dangers.
 
Every year during Construction Safety Week, construction companies reinforce and celebrate our shared commitment to safety with mass safety meetings, equipment demonstrations, job tours, appreciation barbecues and more. This year’s theme, Committed to Holistic Safety, is focused on the outside stresses and distractions that can take us out of our element, interfere with our focus and awareness and impact everything from our decision-making abilities to our reaction times.
 
Construction employment decreased from March 2020 to March 2021 in 203, or 57 percent, of the nation’s metro areas, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of government employment data released recently. Association officials said that the industry’s broader recovery in many parts of the country is being hampered by rising materials prices, supply chain disruptions and project cancellations.

The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department announced on April 21 further details of tax credits available under the American Rescue Plan to help small businesses, including providing paid leave for employees receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
 
As the Coronavirus continues to spread, speculation abounds how mixed-use developments will prevail during and after this public health threat. One thing is clear: The virus is accelerating transformational trends in this real estate sector.
 
Many contractors still have problems with low margins, cheap competition, the tight economy or customers who won’t pay reasonable prices. These construction companies operate with poor business plans and repeat the same behavior while hoping for better results. However, achieving better results requires fighting for improvement, making change and taking new risks.
