Top 3 Safety Training Tips for Construction Teams This Summer

Summer is in full swing in Michigan, and with construction projects ramping up, now’s the perfect time to prioritize safety on the job site. At Juniper Safety, based in Grand Haven, we’ve recently had the privilege of training awesome teams like David Bos Homes and Xylem in Holland. Their dedication to safety inspires us, and we’re excited to share three essential tips to keep your construction crew safe this season.

1. Master Fire Extinguisher Basics

With warmer weather increasing fire risks, knowing how to use a fire extinguisher can make all the difference. Last week, we taught Xylem’s team in Holland how to handle extinguishers confidently. Practice the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) and ensure extinguishers are accessible on-site. Schedule a Fire Extinguisher Class with us to keep your team prepared!

2. Stay Certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED Use

Accidents happen, and quick response saves lives. Our recent session with David Bos Homes included CPR, First Aid, and AED training, equipping their team to act in emergencies. For construction sites, where help might be minutes away, these skills are non-negotiable. We offer tailored classes statewide—contact us to book for your crew.

3. Conduct Regular Safety Audits

Prevention is key. As part of our new construction safety consultation services, we help companies like Juniper Wellness assess risks and comply with OSHA standards. Summer heat, equipment, and busy schedules can create hazards—schedule a safety audit to identify and fix issues before they escalate.

At Juniper Safety, we’re committed to empowering Michigan’s construction and general industry with top-notch training and consultation. Whether it’s fire safety, first aid, or site audits, we’ve got your back. Have questions or ready to schedule? Reach out today—let’s build a safer tomorrow together!
