Walking through construction zones can be risky when safety shortcuts are taken. Loose cables, unstable boards, and poor accessibility create hazards for everyone. Using cable protectors, ground mats, and ADA-compliant ramps ensures safer, more efficient worksites.
Tree felling is one of the most hazardous tasks in tree care and logging. In fact, more people are killed while felling trees than in any other logging activity, according to OSHA. Their Tree Trimming Safety Fact Sheet outlines essential precautions for eliminating risks, from power line hazards to unstable trees.
Outdoor construction or landscaping projects with heavy equipment can tear up lawns or yards. Ground protection mats are a simple, professional way to prevent surface damage, maintain a cleaner site, and work more efficiently across all terrain.
When working on outdoor projects, it’s important to consider ground protection matting. Landscape damaged by heavy equipment can be expensive to repair. Plus, uneven or muddy ground at job sites may cause costly project delays or stoppage due to vehicles getting stuck. But what should you use to protect soft or sensitive ground conditions?

Trucking is big business. A 2019 study valued the U.S. trucking industry at $791 billion with more than 947,000 truck drivers employed. In a number of cases, instances of wheels not being properly secured resulted in trucking catastrophes—injuries or fatalities that could have been avoided with proper use of tractor trailer safety equipment like industrial wheel chocks.
The construction work sector is one of the most dangerous among all occupations. According to OSHA, around 20 percent—1,061—worker fatalities took place in the construction industry in 2019, representing one in five workers.
In 2020, the U.S. mining industry saw fatal accidents claim the lives of 29 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Vehicle-related incidents cause a large portion of these accidents year after year and highlight the need for proper mining safety equipment, such as wheel chocks.
