The 18th annual Safety Kick-Off, hosted by The PENTA Building Group (PENTA), wrapped up a multi city safety tour with three major events, drawing thousands of construction professionals. The expo featured dozens of vendors, while PENTA led presentations focused on reinforcing safety awareness in the industry.
PENTA made stops at venues in Scottsdale, Arizona; Anaheim, California; and Henderson, delivering a key message of prioritizing job-site safety in the markets where they operate.
Each event was filled with activities, including an expo showcasing the latest safety equipment and tech, an award ceremony honoring safety excellence, presentations from industry experts, the reveal of PENTA’s 2025 safety campaign “Safety Overdrive in 2025,” and prizes.
“At PENTA, safety remains at the core of everything we do, and our 18th annual event is a testament to our ongoing commitment to ensuring the well-being of everyone involved in our projects,” said PENTA President and CEO John Cannito. “The commercial construction industry is inherently dangerous, and it takes professionalism and dedication to succeed. We’re proud to bring together trade partners, clients and other general contractors to focus on what matters most — safety. We’re working every day to make sure that everyone on a PENTA job site goes home in the same condition they arrived in. This annual gathering isn’t just an event; it’s an effort to continue driving that message forward to make a real impact on the safety culture of our industry.”
In addition to the Safety Kick-Off events, PENTA’s commitment to safety is channeled through a comprehensive company-wide approach, encompassing quarterly safety stand-down events, continuous safety monitoring on job sites, as well as a strong emphasis on recording, and analyzing and sharing data in order to improve safety protocols internally and externally with leading industry organizations.
