NATE Announces 2013-2014 STAR Initiative Participants



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.

“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.
