Resources to Assist with Every Construction Job | ASA Houston Chapter

SAFETY Resources

At ASA-HC, safety is our primary focus. We pride ourselves on providing the knowledge and tools our members need to create a safer construction industry. Our Safety & Health Committee is charged with bringing awareness to subcontractors and the construction companies they work with, and serving as a resource for individuals who promote safety in the workplace.

Every construction team — and every construction job — faces its share of risks. A little information can make a world of difference in ensuring your team and those around them remain fully protected every step of the way. Improve on-the-job safety with help from these useful online tools.
