Construction Safety Week is May 6-10, 2024

As Construction Safety Week 2024 gets underway, Talisen Construction is proud to celebrate the importance of safety in our industry. Safety is not just a priority at Talisen; it’s a core value that guides everything we do. This month, we reflect on the value of safety culture and its impact on our construction projects, teams, and community.  

Valuing Every Voice

At Talisen, we deeply value the input of every team member. Whether you are new to the job site or a seasoned professional, your ideas and insights are invaluable. Talisen actively fosters open communication and attentive listening, ensuring every individual feels respected and heard. This inclusive approach empowers team members to raise safety concerns, share innovative ideas, and contribute to a culture of safety excellence.  

Embracing Communication and Trust 

Talisen builds its commitment to safety on a foundation of open communication and trust, recognizing that trust is critical to developing a strong safety culture. By promoting an environment where team members can freely express their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and concerns without fear of repercussion, we cultivate a culture of trust. This encourages team members to speak up and share insights, ultimately leading to safer work practices and better outcomes.  

Empowering Every Worker 

Empowering every worker to take responsibility for safety is fundamental to Talisen’s approach. We believe that everyone, regardless of experience level, has a voice and a contribution to make. By encouraging and empowering workers to speak up, we create a culture where safety is a shared responsibility. Through initiatives such as open meetings, small group discussions, and recognition programs, Talisen ensures that every worker feels valued and respected. This leads to a safer work environment and fosters a more engaged and motivated workforce.  

Making Safety Personal

At Talisen, safety is personal. We understand our work impacts not only our projects, but also our families, communities, and the legacy we leave behind. By making safety personal, we cultivate a culture where every worker recognizes their profound responsibility to themselves and their colleagues. This commitment to safety resonates through every action we take, ensuring that each person returns home safely at the end of the day and contributes to the well-being of the broader NY metropolitan area.
