WHY: Over the last two years 33 construction workers have been killed while on the job. This dramatic increase in deaths is directly tied to the lack of training and safety on the sites where the deaths have occurred. The SAFETY FIRST CONFERENCE will bring together today's top experts in the field of construction safety to explore the challenges the industry currently faces and the steps needed to be taken to stem the epidemic of construction site deaths.
