Hundreds of ironworkers have earned Safety-Trained Supervisor Construction certification in the first year of the international union’s program. “Training in the STSC develops a culture of safety,” said Mark Calkins, business manager of Iron Workers Local 24 in Denver.
Calkins was among 1,100 contractors, ironworkers and union leaders focused on safety at the IMPACT Labor-Management conference, held in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., from Feb. 28 to March 2.
