In honor of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) Safe and Sound Week campaign, August 12-18, 2024, MCAA is re-sharing a series of safety videos created by the Safety Alliance between MCAA, TAUC, NECA, and SMACNA for your use to highlight key safety topics with your employees and co-workers.

We kick off the week with a message from Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) Executive Director of Safety, Health & Risk Management Raffi Elchemmas highlighting the resources available to members.

On Tuesday, The Association of Union Constructors Safety Director Alex Kopp addresses falls, which remain a leading cause of injury or incident in our industry. He presents a multi-layered approach that will allow Safety Alliance members to not only meet OSHA guidelines, but to exceed them.

On Wednesday, we hear from SMACNA Director of Safety Justin Crandol, CSP, ARM, CRIS with tips to help contractors combat the opioid crisis with knowledge and action.

National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Executive Director, Outside Line Safety Mike Starner, CUSP, CHST talks about the shared responsibility for safety on Thursday.
