The J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights and the American Association of Safety Professionals announced they have launched a new study to gain a deeper understanding of the state of environmental, health, and safety in the construction industry. 

The study survey is open to those in the construction industry and related trades through Wednesday, July 9, 2025.

Why This Study Matters

In an industry where safety risks are prominent, J.J. Keller says understanding the unique EHS challenges faced by construction professionals is critical to creating a safer future. This study seeks to uncover the challenges, spark conversations and drive change toward a safer working environment for everyone involved.

"The J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights specifically sought to partner with ASSP on this study because our organizations have a likeminded commitment to the work of safety professionals and to helping them create safe jobsites," said Susan Baranczyk, head of corporate communications at J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. "Our goal is to shine a spotlight on the critical EHS issues impacting the construction sector so that all in the industry can focus on solutions that enhance safety."

A Collaborative Effort

“Improving safety in construction requires collaboration, data and a clear understanding of the realities safety professionals face every day," said ASSP President Pam Walaski, CSP, FASSP. "Real-world insights are essential to building safer, healthier jobsites, and ASSP is proud to collaborate on a project that puts the voice of the safety professional at the center."

The insights gathered from the study will be shared with the public, offering knowledge that can shape future safety protocols and practices within the industry.
