Safety is one of American Concrete Pumping Association’s (ACPA’s) highest priorities, and our goal is to foster a culture of safety at every level in the concrete pumping industry. Recognizing the finest examples of safety is one way we uphold our commitment to this mission. This year, we’re proud to name Bobby Blankenship as ACPA’s 2018 Safe Operator of the Year.

Current CPAC members will benefit from ACPA’s strong safety, training and concrete pump operator certification program.
