The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty and ongoing fear of a deep recession in the U.S. economy. While most heavy/civil and highway contractors are currently well-positioned to weather a storm, it’s still unclear how deep or how long a pandemic-generated recession could last.

In this webinar, we’ll share FMI’s point of view on key market trends and how they will impact the U.S. infrastructure environment in three possible ways. Attendees will also gain insights into how they can position themselves for success in a constantly changing and uncertain market.

Over the last year, the COVID pandemic, its economic repercussions, and widespread discussions about systemic racial injustice have rocked every corner of our society. These compounding crises have both shone a light on the existing inequalities built into our infrastructure systems and put new pressures on our water, transportation, energy, and broadband networks.

This presents us with an opportunity to take stock and fight for the infrastructure that every American deserves: safe and reliable transportation to cut down barriers to jobs, education, and healthcare; 21st century supply chains that bringing food and goods to our doors even in the middle of a pandemic; clean, affordable water for our families; high-speed internet to connect everyone to education, healthcare, work, and entertainment; and the comfort of knowing that our homes are safe from floods, wildfires, and other natural disasters.

There is so much to talk about this year, from highlighting the role of essential infrastructure workers to keeping our country safe and moving during a pandemic, the ways infrastructure decisions have perpetuated inequities in communities of color—and what to do about it.

Please mark your calendars on Sept. 14-18, 2020 for our rescheduled dates for Construction Safety Week.

We are excited to get Construction Safety Week rescheduled and believe now more than ever it’s important to recommit to our safety fundamentals that have allowed our industry to be Built on Safety.

As we finish developing a revised Safety Week 2020 plan, it will certainly be different than past years to allow for proper COVID-19 protocols. Although we may need to alter our safety meetings and recognition events, we will still find and promote effective ways to meet and recommit to sending every person home safely from our job sites each day. Our focus will be on our theme — Built on Safety — and our foundational tools, education and processes to ensure all the men and women who work in our industry are safe.

In the coming weeks, we will share new recommendations and resources with you to outline ways we can all plan for Construction Safety Week on Sept. 14-18, 2020. This will include a recommended topic for each day along with ideas for communicating and discussing each topic.

We look forward to another successful Construction Safety Week. Thank you for your continued support.

Stay safe,
