NRCA and United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers support National Safety Stand-Down, June 2-6
The United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers (UURWAW) and National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) are supporting the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction, organized by OSHA, taking place throughout the U.S. from June 2-6, 2014.
“The latest statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show 65 workers in the roofing industry died in 2012 from falls that occurred as they were doing their jobs,” said William Good, executive vice president of the NRCA. “Those numbers are not just cold statistics but reflect 65 families that have been changed forever by the loss of a loved one - a spouse, father, mother, son or daughter whose death has left a void in the hearts of family and friends.”
