Foreman Ironworker Wins Hard Hat Sticker Design Contest
SEAA would like to congratulate Matt English, a foreman ironworker for MAS Building and Bridge, Norfolk, Mass., on his winning hard hat sticker design! The hard hat sticker will be offered as part of the association’s recognition of OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction, May 2-6, 2022. 

English said of his design concept: “It really shows all three themes but definitely Building America Safely. This was a picture I took a few years ago erecting a new entrance canopy for a car dealership. My co-worker (in the photo) has been an ironworker for 26 years and is very proud of it. The dealership flag was waving perfectly at the moment. To me it shows the pride in what we do and proud to be building America.” 

In recognition of the week-long stand down, SEAA is also offering a poster “11 Tips for Post Fall Recovery,” which can be downloaded for free. This and other resources to assist steel erectors in holding a Fall Prevention Stand Down, are available on SEAA’s Stand Down page. More.
SEAA Hosts Career Fair Highlighting Steel Construction Industry
SEAA hosted nearly 300 students from five school districts and several dozen military veterans for its construction career fair in January 2022. SEAA’s Long Range Planning Committee spearheaded the event, which was hosted by member company Adaptive Construction Solutions, Inc., at their training facility in Houston, Texas. More.

Additional photos can be downloaded from SEAA’s Photo Gallery.
SEAA Welcomes Three New Craft Training Units
