Construction trade groups such as the Associated General Contractors of America has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to urge construction workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Members of the Construction Industry Safety Coalition, will work to ensure the vaccination awareness campaign reaches as many workers as possible. The groups will spend next week distributing educational materials and a new industry public service announcement urging workers to get their shots.
“Construction workers have long looked after the welfare of their colleagues, reminding them to stay safe, wear the right gear and be aware of their surroundings,” AGC CEO Stephen Sandherr said in a statement shared with Construction Dive. “Getting their shot is another way that workers can protect their colleagues, as well as their loved ones and community members.”
