Today's NAHB Safety Tip of the Week is focused on guardrail requirements.

When there are areas of an unfinished home build with unprotected falls, like window openings or balconies, a guardrail must be used to prevent falls. Do you know the specific requirements OSHA looks for?

👁️ Eye On Housing: Number of Open Construction Sector Positions Rising

The number of open positions in the construction sector increased in July per the Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The current level of open jobs is down from three years ago due to declines in construction activity, particularly in housing. Nonetheless, strength in construction for subsectors like data center construction (up 46% year-over-year) is creating demand for construction workers. Further, increasing immigration enforcement actions is having an effect on worker availability, which is also contributing to the number of open positions.
