The winning hard hat sticker from the annual contest is now available for SEAA members to purchase. The design was submitted by Joe Brown, Construction Manager for Group Steel Erectors, Inc., based in Dickson, PR E OU Tennessee. His submission, which followed the DT EL OB STE E N B O U T I L theme “Proud to Be an Ironworker,” captures the essence of the trade. This year’s Fall Prevention Stand Down poster, “Don’t Fall for False Security. Tie Off Right at Any Height!” addresses one of the most underestimated risks in construction—falls from 25 feet or less. Thanks to sponsorships from SEAA’s Safety and Education Committee and Trivent Safety Consulting, the poster was polybagged with this issue of Connector. Download poster
