For the Southeastern Carpenters Regional Council and our contractors, safety is the overriding principle for accomplishing our work. In fact, we regard safety as a higher-priority deliverable than cost and scheduling.
We develop safety partnerships with contractors and owners to protect the health and safety of our millwrights and to safeguard owners’ investments.
Our goal is to avoid jobsite injuries, prevent work stoppages due to unsafe conditions, and eliminate higher project costs due to illnesses and accidents, fatalities, worker disabilities, and workers’ compensation claims.
Our Certified Rigger and Signaler Program is now accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agency. The certification exceeds all requirements for riggers and signalers in the USA and Canada. ubccertifications.org
Through continuous training, we instill a core value of safe work within everyone, from apprentices to superintendents. We live up to our standards through a commitment to proactive leadership, dedication to creating a safety-conscious environment, and the determination to achieve zero-accident jobsites.
Adherence to safe work does not change because of accelerated schedules, change orders, or difficult working conditions. Instead, it becomes even more important.
SECRC millwrights are trained to work and support an injury- and accident-free jobsite through attentiveness and continuous improvement in safety measures. Safety training starts on the first day of apprenticeship—and we reinforce safety throughout the millwright’s career.

Bottom Line Safety and productivity do not present an “either-or” proposition. Performing work safely is in the DNA of SECRC millwrights. Safety-conscious contractors know that safety issues are minimized, without hindering productivity, when SECRC millwrights are on the job.
