Supply-chain delays caused by COVID-19 are often an inconvenience, but can also be an employee safety issue. Global supply-chain disruptions in shipments of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) high-visibility safety apparel create a safety risk for construction workers who rely on the effectiveness of reflective garments to be visible in hazardous conditions.

World of Concrete (WOC) 2021, an international event for the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries, was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 7-10, 2021, and, in many ways, marked the official return of trade shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).
