In early 2023, the American Concrete Pumping Association hit the trade show circuit to launch a major job site safety campaign and microsite. WeAreSaferTogether.org brings heightened awareness of ASME B30.27, the safety standard for material placement systems. The campaign highlights the responsibilities of each trade working with or around a concrete pump that are prescribed under the standard, with the ultimate goal of keeping every person on a job site safe.
A great way to gain exposure is to receive accolades and awards. This is why the American Concrete Pumping Association is pleased to report that WeAreSaferTogether.org was recognized with multiple awards in recent months. The microsite was recognized in April with a Gold Award by the Hermes 2023 Creative Awards, and in May with a 2023 Communicator Award of Distinction for exceeding industry standards for quality and achievement.
A special election for president was held during the 2023 Spring Board Meeting held at La Posada in Santa Fe, New Mexico. ACPA is excited to announce its new president, Art Fink. Fink has 40 years in the concrete pumping industry. He began his career in a family business in 1983 and is currently vice president and general manager of CF&T Concrete Pumping in Hayward, California.
The first week of May, May 1-5, is Construction Safety Week 2023. The week-long event originated in 2014 to unite the construction industry in their commitment to safety. And, of course, it’s also a time to learn about what’s new and trending in safety.
