    Rethinking How Work Gets Done

    A decision to expand their workspace led J.M. Brennan to use Stratus to create a digital workflow that dramatically improved efficiency on the shop floor. After about two months, the investment had paid for itself with tremendous time savings, primarily in spooling. Integrating Stratus into the workflow not only transformed internal processes but also overall efficiency.

    NEW MCAA Video Highlights Health Hazards in Mechanical Construction

    When they hear “construction safety and health,” many people think of physical safety or acute injuries that happen suddenly, like falls, cuts, punctures, lacerations, or struck-by injuries. Some serious health hazards are less obvious. These hazards can affect hearing, breathing, the ability to move—your overall health. The effects of these health hazards can take time to develop. By the time you realize there’s a problem, the damage done can be a real inconvenience…or, in some cases, lead to lifelong issues.

    MCAA’s new Health Hazards in Mechanical Construction video provides tips for protecting your health in four main areas:

    • Physical
    • Chemical
    • Biological
    • Ergonomic

    The video is available in both English and Spanish, part of MCAA’s commitment to adding Spanish-language safety resources to help ensure the safety of all of our industry’s workers.

    For additional safety and health videos and a list of all 700+ mechanical industry safety and health resources available from MCAA, click here.

    If you have questions, please contact Raffi Elchemmas, MCAA’s Executive Director of Safety, Health, and Risk Management.

    Foundations of Field Leadership Online: Registration Now Open for January Courses

    If you want to fast-track your new and aspiring field leaders, MCAA has just the program! Once a week for 8 weeks, FFL students spend 90 minutes online with an experienced field leader, who walks them through best practices and practical strategies for running work and running a crew. From Planning to Leadership, from Documentation to Safety: our instructors break down the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of things that every foreman must understand to be successful. Registration is now open for the January courses beginning January 8. Sign your people up today!

    Foundations of Field Leadership (FFL) is taught by senior field leaders with extensive experience running mechanical jobs. The program is based on the input of 42 mechanical field leaders from MCAA member companies across the country. The topics covered in this course were identified by these experts as being the most important things for new field leaders to learn.

    Each lecture is a combination of best practices, lessons learned, and tips and tricks provided by the field leaders themselves – based on their experience, and leveraging their extensive knowledge of the role of a field leader. The course is made up of weekly online lectures with real-time student interaction, quizzes, and short video assignments.

    There are currently 150 students enrolled in our fall courses, and we look forward to welcoming up to 150 more for the January courses. Here are a few comments from our soon-to-be FFL grads on their weekly classes:

    • Very easy to listen to the instructor, very knowledgeable and personable.
    • I like learning from someone with a lot of experience and learning how to do the job more efficiently.
    • I appreciated [the instructor’s] content. I’ve been in the trade for 25 years and have only been running work for the last three years. I’ve either been in or around all the situations [the instructor] spoke about today and appreciated his insight. Great ways to handle things.
    • The information was delivered clearly and was easy to understand. It gave everyone the chance to apply their thoughts and comments.
    • [I appreciated the instructor] acknowledging the fact that being in this class is a step forward in my career, and it feels good to know my hard work and dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed by my company.

    Registration is now open for the courses beginning January 8th. Visit the FFL course webpage to learn more about this exciting opportunity for new and future field leaders, and to sign your people up today!

    MCAA CEO Tim Brink Represents the Construction Industry at White House Event

    On Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, MCAA CEO Tim Brink joined the White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) and White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) for the first White House Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose Event. The event celebrated nearly 250 commitments from stakeholders across all sectors to help expand access to lifesaving opioid overdose reversal medication and reduce preventable drug overdose deaths.

    “With education and awareness, we can empower people to take action and save a life.”
    – Timothy J. Brink, MCAA CEO

    Tim was introduced by Rahul Gupta, Director of the ONDCP. In his role representing the construction industry, Tim highlighted the importance of this crucial initiative and how important normalizing this issue is. “Reaching other trades facing substance use and overdose requires a collaborative and inclusive approach. We haven’t completely figured this out, and we all need to learn from each other. Through our Alliance with NECA, SMACNA, and TAUC, we have top-down support for this challenge, but it also requires equal support from the bottom up and everywhere in between,” Tim said.

    He also highlighted MCAA’s approach to recognizing drug abuse, misuse, and addiction’s relationship with a person’s mental health, and emphasized MCAA’s award-winning mental health awareness and suicide prevention video, and our new joint Construction Mental Health Summit with SMACNA and TAUC at the 2025 Safety and Health Conference.

    MCAA’s leadership in construction safety and health started 25 years ago under the guidance of longtime industry expert Pete Chaney. Over the last 25 years, MCAA has been able to attribute a decrease of about a half a million injuries, a savings to contractors of tens of billions of dollars, to these efforts, which included creating and distributing over 700 safety and health resources in multiple languages.

    “The crisis often begins with the first major injury, leading to the initial prescription for pain relief. It continues on the jobsite due to the pressures of the current work environment, such as the necessity for speed to market and the fact that if you don’t work, you don’t get paid. This all contributes to the need to work through pain and the continued use of opioids,” said Brink.

    MCAA supports the White House’s position encouraging employers to:

    • Train employees on how and when to use an opioid overdose reversal medications.
    • Keep opioid reversal medications in their first aid kits, both on jobsites and in offices.
    • Provide opioid overdose reversal medications to trained employees.
