On average, over 140 people visit a residential job-site during a building project. This includes construction workers, as well as homeowners, real estate agents, and children.

Proper installation of a guardrail takes only a couple of minutes, yet it can be the difference between life and death.

Builders Mutual wants to empower everyone on the job-site to protect workers and visitors alike. Speak up if guardrails are missing. Help us stand up for improved job-site safety.
