Dominion Risk Advisors

Today we remember those who sacrificed their lives so we can live freely. In honor of Memorial Day, our offices will be closed on Monday 5/25. Have a safe weekend!

Day 5: Wrap-Up
Construction Safety Week 2026 reinforced our efforts and commitment to protecting workers through the pillars Recognize, Respond, and Respect, which provided a framework for addressing the challenge of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) within the industry. Early hazard recognition, use of tools like the Energy Wheel, and applying the Hierarchy of Energy Control in planning and inspections keep high energy risks managed and workers safer. Work with us at DRA to make sure your projects are as safe as possible and fully covered. Stay safe!

Construction Safety Week Day 4: RESPECT

Planning is critical to everything that happens on a construction site. Not respecting the plan or neglecting to reassess when conditions change can lead to significant safety incidents. Respecting the plan is more than following instructions. It is about creating a culture of safety where every worker feels empowered to speak up and collaborate openly across every phase of the project. By doing this, we prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) and eliminate STCKY (Stuff That Can Kill You) hazards. Reach out to DRA today to ensure that your projects are fully covered!

Day 3: National Safety Stand-down to Prevent Falls.
Falls remain one of the leading causes of worker fatalities and life-threatening injuries. Nearly all fall-related incidents are preventable with the right preparation, equipment, communication, and awareness. Fall protection only works when we use it every time! Work with us at DRA to implement speaking up, slowing down, and choosing safer action at your project sites.

Day 2 of Construction Safety Week: RESPOND.

Responding is about what we do once a hazard is recognized - not reacting AFTER something goes wrong, but acting in advance to prevent it from causing harm. We can turn hazard recognition into real protection when we build safety into the plan from the start and make adjustments as needed if conditions change. Reach out to us today to learn more about how to protect your employees on project sites!

It is Construction Safety Week 2026! Today's topic is RECOGNIZE.

April team building: Axe throwing🪓
Actually, it was axe, dagger, ninja star, and cleaver throwing! Duke added some cash targets to spice things up, but thankfully our less-than-perfect aim meant the bills stayed mostly intact. Jennifer even got in on the action with a broken leg!

Experiences like this highlight what we do best at DRA - we understand risk, but more importantly, we know how to handle it 👊🏻

Thanks 540 Social for being great hosts!

The cost of workers’ compensation can be a source of frustration for a business owner. We recommend turning this expense into an opportunity. While work comp is often the most expensive property and casualty insurance premium for businesses, it is also an expense upon which you have control.
