MCAA Safety & Health Data Raises The Bar

The 2024 MCAA Safety Statistics & Awards program highlights a consistent and stable cohort of safety performance across MCAA contractor membership. This year the MCAA Safety Excellence Initiative is proud to recognize 62 MCAA member companies. All applicants receive a valuable benchmarking report that will allow them to compare their own 2023 incidence rates with the aggregate rates of the other participating MCAA companies overall, those in the same size category, and with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics incidence rates.

This year’s cohort achieved best in industry rates across the construction sector. On average participating MCAA contractors had a recordable rate of 1.1, lower than years past and significantly lower than our industry in general with a 3.1. As far as lost workday cases go, MCAA members once again performed exceptionally with a .28 rate compared to the industry rate of 1.8.

Those who qualified will also receive a certificate of recognition.

The program provides six awards categories including awards for zero recordable cases, zero lost workday cases, recordable cases incidence rates that are 25% or more below the industry average, lost workday cases incidence rates that are 25% or more below the industry average, and two that are a mix of these items.

Congratulations to Kyla Magee, Recipient of the Ferguson Women in the Mechanical Industry Scholarship

Kyla Magee is one of two recipients of the Ferguson – Women in the Mechanical Industry (WiMI) Scholarship. Annually, the two scholarship recipients are invited to attend the WiMI Conference with complimentary registration. This year, the conference was held June 10-12 in Cleveland, OH.

Kyla anticipates graduating from the University of Nebraska in December 2025 with a degree in Construction Engineering. She is currently serving her chapter as the Student Chapter President and has previously held the roles of Community Service Chair and Vice President. She previously interned with Ray Martin Company and is interning this summer with MMC Contractors. Both companies are MCAA members.

“At first glance, my favorite thing about mechanical construction is the construction part itself. I think plumbing, hydronic piping, and HVAC are so interesting and so complex in how they are designed and manufactured. There is still so much about mechanical construction that I don’t know and I am so eager to learn. I think the most appealing part of mechanical is the community aspect. I think because it is a specialty that the people in this industry have much more of a community with each other, even across the country. Through my experience with MCA-Omaha and at MCAA events, people have been so welcoming and so open to teaching me new things. I think compared to a GC, mechanical has so much more of a personal feeling. I remember at my first GreatFutures Forum, it was explained that a building is just a shell without mechanical construction and that mechanical is the heart of a building. I thought that was so cool and so true (and still do)!

When I first joined my student chapter, I didn’t realize how much it would matter to me. I needed to join a club at the time for my scholarship and figured it would turn into one of those things where you meet once a month and never really talk to anyone. I couldn’t have been more wrong once I realized how much of a community there is inside of MCAA, MCA-Omaha, and especially within our student chapter in Nebraska. I’ve built so many friendships and relationships with industry professionals that I recognize and feel comfortable talking to. Besides that, I’ve been able to hold multiple leadership positions in which I’ve been able to help influence my fellow students to pursue mechanical as a career. I’ve learned so much locally and every time I get to attend a national conference, I feel grateful to learn about everyone else’s experiences as well. After graduation, I plan to stay involved with my local student chapter by becoming a mentor and of course, working for an MCAA contractor.”

MCAA and the John R. Gentille Foundation congratulate Kyla on this prestigious scholarship and thank Ferguson for their commitment to supporting students interested in pursuing a career in the mechanical contracting industry.

Sloan Receives LEED Silver Plaque Recognizing Sustainability Efforts

MCAA Member Sloan received a United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED Silver plaque at a June 11 event. The plaque honors the company’s sustainability efforts at its Chicago Fulton Market District flagship showroom and office space. MCAA congratulates the entire Sloan team on this achievement.

Rhiannon Jacobson, USGBC managing director, presented the plaque to Parthiv Amin, Sloan’s chief sales and marketing officer. The venue is the world’s first commercial plumbing showroom to be both LEED and WELL certified. 

“It is an honor for Sloan’s showroom and office space to be recognized for its sustainable efforts with such a prestigious award,” said Paul Sambanis, Sloan’s vice president of sustainability. “Sustainability has been at the core of Sloan’s mission since the company was founded over a century ago, and this recognition is another reminder of why sustainable practices are so important. Thank you to everyone at Sloan for an unwavering commitment to sustainability and wellness, as well as the USGBC for visiting our showroom to bestow this honor upon us.”

The LEED Silver certification, awarded by the USGBC, verifies that the Sloan showroom has earned more than half of the basic LEED points recommended when developing an environmentally focused project. Sloan achieved its certification by reducing its parking footprint, purchasing renewable energy credits, maintaining material transparency, and implementing various other innovative approaches.

In addition to its LEED Silver certification, Sloan’s showroom has achieved WELL Gold certification, awarded by the International WELL Building Institute. This certification is presented to spaces that meet all WELL preconditions and achieve 40 percent or more of its optimization features, focusing on human health. Sloan’s showroom met or exceeded enhanced chemical thresholds, provided an acceptable thermal environment, achieved visual lighting designs, and ensured enhanced water quality through the use of Sloan products in the showroom’s restrooms.

Sloan’s Chicago Showroom, the company’s largest showroom in North America, highlights its touch-free, sustainable, and aesthetic product offerings across the entire restroom.

For more information on the Sloan showroom, visit Sloan’s website.

MCAA congratulates the Sloan team on achieving these environmental milestones.

MCAA Mental Health Video Honored with Prestigious Telly Award

MCAA’s 2023 film on Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention has been selected as a winner of a highly prestigious Telly Award.

The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens. Founded in 1979 to honor local, regional and cable television commercials, with non-broadcast video and television programming added soon after, the award has evolved with the rise of digital video to include branded content, documentary, social media, immersive and more. The Telly Awards today celebrate the best work in the video medium in an exciting new era of the moving image on and offline.

The Telly Awards annually showcases the best work created within television and across video, for all screens. Receiving over 12,000 entries globally from 6 continents and all 50 states, Telly Award winners represent work from some of the most respected advertising agencies, television stations, production companies and publishers from around the world. The Telly Awards recognizes work that has been created on behalf of a client, for a specific brand and/or company (including your own) or self-directed as a creative endeavor.

MCAA launched this video to members in September 2023, and during the course of the next three months had thousands of views. Over that time, many MCAA members suggested releasing the video to the general public, which MCAA did in January 2024. Since then, it has been viewed thousands of times outside construction, being picked up by several media outlets and now recognized by The Telly Awards.

“Our goal to help our industry break the stigma is working. Being selected as a Telly Award winner is not only a great honor, but also helps spread the message to even more workers around the country. MCAA thanks the Telly Awards Judging Council and encourages people in and out of construction to watch this video,” said MCAA President Rick Gopffarth.

The public video can be found at YouTube.com/@MCAAmerica or directly here in English or Spanish.

ServiceTitan Highlights Mental Health in Construction with the UA and MCAA

Mental health awareness and suicide prevention are a priority across the construction and service industries. MCAA member ServiceTitan recently amplified the conversation with a special episode of its ‘Toolbox for the Trades’ podcast. The hour-long podcast, hosted by Jackie Aubel, features a dialogue between the United Association’s (UA) Jennifer Massey and MCAA’s Raffi Elchemmas.

There are a troubling 5,000 deaths by suicide each year in the United States construction industry.

Workplace challenges include doing a job that’s physically demanding and therefore brings a high probability of injury. Plus, there are the long hours and travel requirements.

Conditions have improved when it comes to deaths on the job caused by unsafe working environments. However, experts say, more needs to be done to address mental health in the construction ranks.

Jennifer Massey is the safety, health and environmental administrator for the United Association. The group represents approximately 375,000 home services industry workers in the United States and Canada.

“People should be able to go home in the same condition they came to work,” she says. “They should not be adversely affected while trying to have a livelihood to provide for their families and themselves.”

Both Massey and Raffi Elchemmas, executive director for safety, health and risk management at the Mechanical Contractors Association of America, are concerned about the mental health issues that led to those 5,000 suicides last year.

Elchemmas says workers deserve better than the status quo.

“We wrote the playbook with physical safety, how to prevent falls, how to keep people safe and PPE,” he says. “We can do it again in mental health, and that’s what we plan to do.”

It’s achievable, Elchemmas says.

“Compassion, empathy – those are the things we’re trying to do,” he adds. “We’re trying to break the stigma, ask the question that you would feel comfortable asking your sibling, asking your best friend, but on a job site.”

Jennifer Massey and Raffi Elchemmas recently joined ServiceTitan’s Jackie Aubel on the “Toolbox for the Trades” podcast, which included their thoughts on:

  • [10:54]: The importance of mental health in the construction industry
  • [16:42]: Clearly defining mental health issues and terms
  • [35:01]: Warning signs that someone may be having mental health challenges
  • [37:30]: Dealing with working in a toxic environment
  • [49:01]: Available resources and support for those struggling with mental health

To hear more stories from the trades, subscribe to Toolbox for the Trades on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, or anywhere you get podcasts.

If you have questions, please contact Raffi Elchemmas, MCAA’s Executive Director of Safety, Health and Risk Management.
