To celebrate Construction Safety Week – held annually during the first week of May – LeChase projects across all regions hosted safety stand-downs, trainings and other events focused on promoting safe work practices.

The team at the Rochester Regional Health Geneva Destination Medical Campus project also held a stand down.
- In Buffalo, the Graycliff Conservancy Visitor Center project hosted a stand down and training session with guest presenter Jeremy Starr from MSA Safety. Jeremy discussed fall protection, demonstrated how to properly wear a harness and explained how to inspect one.
