The NSC’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Safety Champion awards recognize stand-out safety professionals who share a commitment to fostering safer environments and outcomes for all.
SMACNA received a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Safety Champion Award during the opening session of the 2024 Safety Congress and Expo. These awards recognize safety environments that foster safe environments and outcomes for all professionals.
SMACNA launched a safety sponsorship program as part of its commitment to fostering diversity within the safety workforce. Designed to promote inclusivity in the unionized industry by providing financial support for qualified individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to attend the NSC Safety Congress & Expo, the program offers the opportunity for recipients to gain exposure to cutting-edge technology, education, and networking. Positive feedback from participants highlights the program's effectiveness in promoting professional growth and advancing diversity in the safety profession. SMACNA aims to make this program a key component of its ongoing efforts to build a workforce where each employee's talents are recognized and valued.
SMACNA's Director of Safety, Justin Crandol, was on hand to receive the award during the Safety Congress and Expo.
