Safety Sponsorship Program

The SMACNA Safety and Health Committee, in partnership with the sheet metal industry BE4ALL initiative, is offering an annual Safety Sponsorship to one eligible individual in the safety field. This program provides the opportunity to attend the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo, to promote professional development, learning, and networking.  

The Safety Sponsorship program, developed with the sheet metal industry’s BE4ALL initiative, is an annual program that supports a diverse and inclusive unionized sheet metal industry. It encourages safety professionals who share BE4ALL’s vision to apply and advance their careers in a supportive environment. We know ongoing learning is key to professional growth. That’s why each year this sponsorship offers one eligible individual the chance to attend the prestigious National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo—the largest safety event for over 100 years.

The winner receives up to $5,000 to cover expenses related to attending the NSC Safety Congress & Expo, along with the opportunity to:

• Learn about the latest regulations and insights into regulatory organizations.
• Gain valuable knowledge for effective safety measure implementation.
• Network with industry professionals and explore collaborations.
• Find solutions for longstanding safety issues through discussions.
• Stay updated on emerging trends and advancements in safety regulations.
