This must become a value that we live both at home and at work. That&#8217;s why individual choice is the focus of this year&#8217;s Safety Week,&#8221; said Traylor. &#8220;The choices we make have a tremendous impact on each other and the communities we serve.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>To symbolize this year&#8217;s theme, construction workers, industry leaders and other stakeholders will share why and how they make safe choices on social media. The individual pledges will be aggregated to form a mosaic image, providing a compelling visual demonstration of the collective impact of the workers&#8217; commitment to safety on the entire industry. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re interested in collecting stories from people across the industry \u2013 we want to demonstrate how the shared commitment to safety can help build a stronger safety culture,&#8221; Traylor said. <\/p>\n<p>Safety Week events are planned for:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (L.A.
