This week at the PCIA’s 2013 Wireless Infrastructure Show in
Hollywood, Florida the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) announced
the member companies who have been approved to participate in the NATE STAR Initiative
Program for the 2013-2014 year. The NATE STAR
Initiative was designed to help companies operate safely while recognizing
tower erectors who voluntarily adhere to higher standards. The NATE STAR
Initiative emphasizes Safety, Training, Accountability and Reliability
by asking participants to commit to requisite levels of training, site safety
audits and the implementation of safety programs while adhering to industry
best practices.
“NATE Start Initiative
Participants are among a growing community of NATE members who demonstrate a
commitment to the highest level of tower safety,” said Senior Staff Associate
Shelly Trego. “Thanks to the leadership and attention to detail by the
participants, the implementation of the practices defined by the STAR
Initiative will continue to increase the level of safety and vigilance in the
industry.”
New this year, the participants
will receive rate discounts on designated training courses offered on the soon
to be unveiled NATE Exchange. The NATE Exchange will be a website allowing
companies to connect with the most up-to-date training courses that are offered
throughout the industry.

NATE believes in “Safety from the ground up” and works to provide a unified
voice for tower erection, maintenance and service companies.
“Safety never ends,” Chairwoman
of NATE, Pat Cipov explained at the Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum event
earlier this week. “The solution is certain: we are all responsible for safety
and we need to make sure each employee goes home at the end of the day.
