🚧 What if one conversation could save a life?

The construction industry has made tremendous progress in reducing physical injuries—but some of today's greatest risks aren't always visible.

Mental health. Stress. Burnout. Fatigue. Suicide prevention. Psychological safety.

These challenges affect every company, every project, and every jobsite.

That's why the Greater Boston Chapter of ASSP is proud to partner with the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC MA) for a conversation every construction leader should be part of.

🏗️ Beyond Compliance

Building a Worker Wellness Program That Strengthens Safety Culture, Mental Health & Organizational Performance

We're honored to welcome Tim Irving, CSP, ARM, CHST, former Acting Director of OSHA's Directorate of Construction, as moderator.

Tim has led many of OSHA's most impactful national initiatives, including:

✅ Mental Health in the Workplace

✅ Suicide Prevention in Construction

✅ OSHA's Trenching Safety Initiative

✅ National Stand-Down to Prevent Falls

✅ ANSI Type II Safety Helmet Initiative

Tim will lead an outstanding panel featuring:

👤 Michelle La Fleur

Chief People Officer, Shawmut Design & Construction

👤 Reginald Shubert

Corporate Safety Director, Barr & Barr

👤 Nick Fragola

Director of Safety, Colantonio, Inc.

👤 Special Guest Panelist (To Be Announced)

Together, they'll share practical lessons on:

💙 Launching wellness initiatives using EAPs and existing insurance resources

🤝 Building executive buy-in and workforce engagement

🏗️ Leveraging unions, recovery councils, and peer support networks

📈 Scaling programs from early efforts to fully integrated wellness strategies

💡 Overcoming challenges including cost, participation, and cultural adoption

This isn't another compliance seminar.

It's a conversation about creating workplaces where people feel supported, leaders know how to respond, and organizations understand that protecting workers means caring for the whole person—not just preventing injuries.

Whether you're a safety professional, superintendent, project executive, HR leader, owner, or operations manager, you'll leave with practical ideas you can implement immediately.
