'We've already ordered well over 5,000 copies.'
June may be National Safety Month, but for Mike Thibodeaux, Risk Management Director for Lennar Corporation headquartered in Houston, every month is Safety Month. That’s why Mike’s such a big fan of the safety publications from BuilderBooks.com, particularly when it comes to the English-Spanish versions.

“The message is clear and concise, the pictures are great, and it really does a good job of showing the safest way to do a particular job.”  Mike is referring to the NAHB-OSHA Jobsite Safety Handbook, the English/Spanish edition from BuilderBooks.com. This pocket size manual covers the key safety issues residential builders need to focus on to reduce injuries and fatalities. Topics include employee and employer duties, orientation and training, personal protective equipment, housekeeping and stairs and ladders.

“With the large number of Spanish speakers within the workforce, this is really very important,” continues Mike.  “We give these out to each of our associates as well as our contractors.  Right now, we’re working together with other builders, OSHA and Texas Workers’ Comp Commission in the Houston presenting a two-hour safety training class exclusively for Spanish-speakers.  This is one of the major handouts we’ll be using.”

“I haven’t seen anything like these — I’m not aware of any other publication that is as concise, yet as complete. I know we’ve already ordered and distributed well over 5,000 copies of this Job Site Safety Handbook.  And we’ll be buying more.”
