Toxic Job Sites Aren’t Fair…To Anyone
Increased energy efficiency is not the only pro of building with non-toxic materials. Toxic job sites are dangerous for the health, productivity, and well-being of construction workers. It's important for workers to be informed and educated about the risks and hazards they may face when working with toxic materials.
Toxic Job Sites Aren’t Fair…To Anyone
There are three primary stages where workers are forced to interface with toxic materials. These include material extraction sites, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. In each of these stages, the workers are rarely compensated fairly for the risks they are taking. As construction professionals the key action we can take is specifying healthy materials with socially just lifecycles.
