As market conditions evolve rapidly, understanding key property management elements can significantly impact your renewal outcomes and risk strategies, especially for those facing increased property recommendation and inspection requests or challenging renewals due to slower property condition adjustments compared to market changes. Join Holmes Murphy to gain insights into historical nationwide losses and market shifts.

In the fast-paced and demanding world of construction, managing project risk is crucial to ensure successful project outcomes. When issues arise and profits fade, workers are often blamed, but are we providing them with the information and resources necessary to make good decisions? Join us July 25 10-11 a.m. CT

Hot environments, especially during the summer months, expose thousands of construction workers in the United States to an increased risk of heat related illness. As the temperature begins to rise, so does the risk of heat stress, heat exhaustion, or worse, heat stroke. Join us to learn how to mitigate these risks and keep your workers safe.

In construction, the unthinkable can happen to anyone at any time. Are you prepared to respond to a critical incident on your construction site? These unexpected events demand calm, confident, and decisive action during chaos. A failed response can quickly turn into a crisis which may threaten your company’s reputation and viability.

Auto insurance rates have been on the rise for several years due to various factors including distracted driving, increased cost of physical damages and serious injuries, and social inflation. To mitigate this impact many companies are implementing telematics programs which helps reduce risk, lower claim costs, enhance fleet operations, and improve driver behaviors. However, implementing a telematics program presents challenges that must be addressed to fully reap its benefits. Identifying these challenges in a construction fleet is crucial for effective risk management and leveraging improved driver behaviors as a valid defense against claims from other parties.

Environmental risk is a topic that is misunderstood frequently, tolerated on many fronts or simply ignored. Nevertheless, recent history confirms an ever-increasing emphasis from project owners, prime/GC’s and federal/state regulatory agencies to minimize construction’s environmental impact on air, water and land. What was once overlooked in years past is now a central focus on many projects today. Join us January 19, 2024 at 8:45 a.m. CT

Struck-by incidents are the second leading cause of workplace deaths and the leading cause of nonfatal injuries among construction workers. About seventy-five percent of these fatalities involve heavy equipment and vehicles. Sadly, the frequency of these incidents has been consistent for many years. So how do we reverse this trend? We need to stop relying on back-up alarms and hi-visibility clothing as the primary methods of prevention. Join us November 17th at 8:45 a.m. CT

Please join Holmes Murphy Construction October 20th at 9 a.m. CT for practical insight into how to position your organization to effectively respond to an OSHA inspection. Register today!

Fatigue has largely been accepted as the nature of the construction industry. The work is physically demanding and often performed in challenging, high-pressure environments due to accelerated schedules and worker shortages. Additionally, other risk factors such as out-of-town work, long commutes, and worker lifestyles influence and compound the effects of fatigue. Contractors recognize the physical exhaustion experienced by construction workers, but how well do they recognize the impact that fatigue has on mental health?

Federal and state governments regulate Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) use and driver qualification to assure a minimum level of public protection. In the space of non-Commercial Driver’s License (non-CDL) CMVs and drivers, it is not uncommon for contractors to mismanage basic compliance due to a misinterpretation and/or misunderstanding of which elements specifically apply to their fleet and which ones do not. Join us July 21st at 8:45 a.m. for a practical and in-depth perspective.

When the risk of fall six feet or more exists, all affected workers must be protected from falls using a method that correctly matches working conditions, the type of construction being performed, and OSHA’s Subpart M Fall Protection requirements. In recognition of this on-going risk to worker safety, Holmes Murphy Construction will be hosting a two-part webinar series on Fall Protection focused on compliance and risk mitigation. Join us for Part 2 on June 16, 2023 at 8:45 a.m. CT. Register today!

Falls to a lower level are the leading cause of death in construction and account for about 1/3 of all construction fatalities. Sadly, these numbers have remained relatively consistent over the past several years.  In recognition of this on-going risk to worker safety, Holmes Murphy Construction will be hosting a two-part webinar series on Fall Protection focused on compliance and risk mitigation. Join us at 8:45 a.m. for this webinar event.

Contractor liability rapidly comes into focus anytime a pedestrian or cyclist is injured in a construction work zone. Failure to comply mixed with failure to perform as agreed-upon predictably leads toward responsibility to pay for damages. In this webinar, learn more about practical, result-driven methods to positively impact pedestrian and cyclist risk in a construction work zone. Join us April 21st at 8:45 a.m.

Roadway construction projects often rely on portable asphalt batch plants to reduce wait times for material, trucking costs, and issues with mix quality. Due to the temporary nature of these portable plants, there are numerous safety and risk management concerns related to transport, setup, operation, and disassembly. Join Holmes Murphy Construction Feb. 24th at 8:45 a.m. CT to discuss hazards, risks and best practices.
