Friday, March 27, 2020

Show the Industry and the State How WECA Contractors Lead in Best Practices for Jobsite Safety During the COVID-19 Situation:

Send us pictures of your safe-practice jobsites for social media and industry communications

Dear WECA Members,
     We know how seriously you're taking the directives to keep your employees safe as they continue with essential work as specified by California Executive Order N-33-20 in response to the COVID-19 situation.
     If you'd like a refresher on best practices as WECA has compiled them, as well as more information about interpretations of California Executive Order N-33-20, please click here.
      We'd like to take the lead in showing that our member contractors are doing it right. Please send us pictures of your job sites that show off how you are keeping your employees safe. We'd like to put together a resource similar to this example from ABC Empire State.             


      WECA Member Contractors are known for their quality, safety, and unmatched skill. Let's take the lead and inspire contractors across the State to stay as safe as we do. Please send your job site photos to communications@goweca.com. We will compile and reshare the photos we collect from you.
Sincerely,
         The WECA Team
