We’re All In – Together: Advocating for Safety During Construction Safety Week 2025

At Collins & Collins Attorneys, we’re proud to stand in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of the construction industry during Construction Safety Week 2025. This year’s theme, “We’re All In – Together,” reflects a powerful truth: safety isn’t an individual effort—it’s a collective commitment. From job site supervisors to laborers, legal advocates to industry leaders, we all share the responsibility of ensuring that every worker makes it home safely. 

Organized by the Construction Industry Safety Initiative (CISI), Construction Safety Week serves as a critical reminder of the ongoing work we must all do to eliminate incidents and injuries on job sites. It’s more than just a campaign, it’s a movement to revitalize safety culture through education, action, and accountability.

A Culture of Safety Requires Commitment 

At Collins & Collins, our mission has always been clear: to fight and advocate safer working conditions for construction workers across Western and Central New York. We’ve seen the tragic consequences that can result from oversight, negligence, or outdated safety practices—and we believe that every injury is one too many. 

Through our legal work, we have stood beside families and individuals whose lives have been forever changed by unsafe job sites. But prevention is the best defense, and that’s why we use our voice not just in the courtroom, but in the community—to push for better policies, raise awareness, and support initiatives like Construction Safety Week. 

Safety Isn’t Just Physical—It’s Mental Too 

This year, Construction Safety Week takes place during Mental Health Awareness Month, and that overlap couldn’t be more important. Construction work is physically demanding and mentally taxing. Long hours, high-risk tasks, and seasonal employment pressures can take a toll on a worker’s mental health. 

That’s why part of being “All In” means recognizing the need for open conversations about stress, burnout, and mental wellness. At Collins & Collins, we’re passionate about supporting mental health resources and workplace cultures that treat mental safety with the same urgency as physical safety. 

If you or someone you know in the industry is struggling, know that you're not alone—and help is available. 

Be Part of the Change 

We encourage everyone—whether you work in the field, manage projects, support teams, or advocate from the outside—to take a moment this week to reflect on how you can contribute to a safer, healthier industry. Visit ConstructionSafetyWeek.com for facts, tools, and resources that can help bring your team together and foster a culture where safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a core value. 

Let’s honor the commitment, courage, and craftsmanship of our construction community by standing together, speaking up, and never settling for “good enough” when it comes to safety.

From all of us at Collins & Collins Attorneys—thank you for the work you do. We’re all in, and we’re in it together to make a change for the better.
