Safety Safety & Training

Safety Professionals Committee

The SMACNA of Southern Nevada has teamed up with the MCA of Las Vegas and the Southern Nevada NECA Chapter to establish a monthly committee for safety professionals in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing industries. This valuable opportunity allows safety professionals to share ideas on mitigating risk and stay current on the latest regulatory changes, technological advancements and more.

Foreman Development Series

SMACNA and MCA members are invited to send their foremen to this top-notch training. The Foreman Development Series is specifically designed to:

• Apply the industry's "best practices"
• Foster workforce pride and accountability on the jobsite
• Improve contractor competitiveness and bottom line
• Promote consistency among industry leadership
• Mitigate risk to owners and contractors

Industry Toolbox Talks

Industry Toolbox Talks are an easy way for foremen and supervisors to supplement the safety and training efforts of their company. These informal sessions help keep safety front and center and amplify the messages received in formal safety training for workers.

The SMACNA Hard Hat Program

The SMACNA Hard Hat Program was designed to help reduce workplace risk by providing complimentary hard hats to SMART Local 88 signatory contractors. Hard hats are the most easily recognized personal protective equipment (PPE) on the construction site. SMACNA hard hats carry both the SMACNA and the SMART Local 88 logos with the slogan “Together We Do It Better.” The SMACNA Hard Hat Program helps create and enforce the contractor’s health and safety policies and procedures.

The SMACNA Safety Glasses Program

The SMACNA Safety Glasses Program was created to encourage, promote and provide proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to SMART Local 88 signatory contractor employees. Safety glasses act as a shield to protect the eyes from any type of foreign debris that may cause irritation or injury to help eliminate and reduce the risk of harm. Employees who wear prescription glasses must wear required eye protection that incorporates the prescription in its design. SMART Local 88 signatory contractor employees may order complimentary prescription safety glasses once each year.
