Skiles Group

In May, we hosted safety standdowns across our projects in recognition of OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction and Mental Health Awareness Month, with support from NAMI resources. These gatherings gave our project teams and trade partners time to pause, connect, and focus on two critical areas of jobsite well-being: fall prevention and mental health awareness.

With falls remaining one of the most serious hazards in construction, discussions focused on ladder safety, lifts, scaffolds, fall harnesses, and the everyday practices that help people go home safely. Teams also discussed su***de prevention, the importance of recognizing when someone may need support, and resources available for help.

Standdowns were held across projects in Aurora, CO, and throughout Texas, including College Station, Olney, McGregor, Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano, Denton, Grapevine, and Midlothian.

These events also served as worker appreciation gatherings, recognizing the effort, skill, and care our trade partners bring to the jobsite every day.

Thank you to everyone who participated, led conversations, asked questions, and continues to make safety part of the way we work.
