Laborers' Health & Safety Fund of North America

It takes seconds for a trench to collapse—and most incidents are fatal. Before you enter a trench, make sure every required safety procedure is in place. If it's not, do NOT go in.

“Seeing them engage so deeply with the Fund’s resources during this workshop proves that when we invest in our leaders, we are investing in the strength and future of every Laborer across North America,” said @GSTMFSabitoni. lhsfna.org/lhsfna-empower…

Jamie Becker and Ryan Papariello attended OSHA’s Annual Construction Roundtable event, where they heard from senior leadership on enforcement and outreach activities. Becker and Papariello also highlighted best practices and opportunities for collaboration within the Alliance.

Today, LHSFNA staff got a chance to discuss the health and safety services available to PENC Local leaders and their members. Then @GSTMFSabitoni outlined the tremendous opportunity to grow LIUNA's public sector representation on our march to a million members.

“More and more evidence is showing that protecting hearing is not just a matter of compliance, but a fundamental investment in the long-term health and productivity of our workforce,” says LHSFNA Management Co-Chair David F. Rampone. lhsfna.org/hearing-conser…

History made in Philly. The first LIUNA African-American Caucus Leadership Training brought leaders from every region to the Philadelphia Training Center to sharpen their skills and step up as the next generation of union leadership. Powerful words of encouragement from @PhillyMayor Cherelle Parker reminding everyone the future of the labor movement is being built right here. This is how we grow. This is how we lead.

PPE that doesn’t fit isn't just inconvenient—it's a safety risk. ⚠️ Most PPE is designed for men, leaving over 1/3 of women with ill-fitting gear. If your PPE doesn’t fit, it can’t do its job. Speak up—you deserve gear that works for you. 👷‍♀️🛡️ #WomensHistoryMonth

Type II safety helmets are a game-changer! TBIs cause 25% of construction fatalities. New VT Helmet Lab rating proves type II helmets reduce head injuries & save lives. Time to make the switch! #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth news.vt.edu/articles/2025/…

Travis Parsons spoke at the MI Laborers’ District Council Contractor Forum on jobsite safety, work zone protections and the importance of mental health in construction. Together, LIUNA, the Fund and signatory contractors are working to ensure every Laborer returns home safely.

👷‍♀️"Being in the Union, it's an honor & it gives me a lot of courage and strength." —Tara Arslanian, @LIUNA Local 172. This #WomeninConstructionWeek, our sisters like Tara remind us that being part of #LIUNA is about more than a job, it's about honoring the work we do together.

During #WomenInConstructionWeek and #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the women who show up, break down barriers, and build our world every day. Our sisters represent strength, determination, and the power of working people. Proud to stand with them! #Solidarity

Women have been building our world for centuries! 🌍👷‍♀️ From the Brooklyn Bridge to WWII and today, women in construction have always broken barriers. The strong women of @LIUNA continue this proud tradition every day. ✊🛠️ #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInConstruction

When we fight, we win! 💪 A long-form look back at our fight to keep @GatewayProgNews funded, told through the voices of @LIUNA #Local472 members on the job and our legislative partners who are pro- #Union, pro-LIUNA, and pro-infrastructure. vimeo.com/1169639412

On the jobsite, we don’t just build infrastructure, we build each other up. The men and women of LiUNA work side by side, looking out for one another, sharing knowledge, and making sure every worker gets home safe That’s real allyship That’s the strength of our union #WICWeek

💪 The fight for workers rights knows no borders. Leave a comment in #Solidarity and help our brothers and sisters in @LiUNACanada & @liuna183 bring Jay Patry to the negotiating table!
