Safety & Education

Safety is more than just protective gear and OSHA compliance; it’s an active culture maintained through daily practice and routine. While construction is inherently dangerous work, a proper safety program and a well-trained crew can all but eliminate job site accidents.

UTCA members can access several safety resources, including in-office classes and certification training, online videos and training materials, written materials and worksheets, and a UTCA-developed Daily Safety Analysis. We also regularly update our contractors on emerging issues, including new government regulations and standards.

The UTCA Safety Award Application is now available. Please click the link below to print out the form and send it to Helene by February 13th.
