To say that the construction industry is booming is a gross understatement. Construction spending has risen approximately 13 percent since 2014, bringing 2015 totals close to $1.1 trillion. The industry is growing so quickly that there’s an insufficient supply of qualified workers available. As fast as the industry grows, what isn’t lacking is a commitment to safety. In just 40 years, work-related injuries have decreased 67 percent, and we hope that number will continue to fall.
Years ago, Strong Man predicted the industry growth curve, and early on, made plans to keep up. That’s why our large inventory center and two distribution centers are always fully stocked. We offer a full line of the highest quality safety products including tarps, vapor barriers and debris and safety netting to help keep any construction site safe. We have a wide variety of materials to choose from because we take safety seriously; it’s kind of our thing.
And we don’t just have the right tools for the job, we also have the right people running the operation. As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on offering excellent customer service. Every member of our staff is trained to work directly with our customers to ensure they have the materials they need to create and maintain a safe job site.
It’s an exciting time for our industry with unparalleled opportunities. While we’re moving forward, let’s remember an important phrase that especially applies to this industry: safety first.
