The City of Austin Development Services Department (DSD) works with the community to build a better and safer Austin. This page serves as a construction site safety resource center for:
- general safety
- areas around construction sites
- weather-related precautions
Safety Flyers
These safety flyers include reminders about the three most common safety concerns DSD Inspectors see on job sites. We encourage contractors and safety staff to post these reminders with required signage. You can download, print, and post these materials or ask your inspector for a copy. These safe practices help protect construction workers, inspectors, and our community as we work together to keep construction sites and the areas around them safe.
