Message from the General President

The United Association has now implemented the "UA Standard for Safety" which is based on common sense issues and is intended to compliment contractor or owner safety programs. The Standard is part of our ongoing commitment to protecting the health and safety of our members. The Standard is intended to help meet the contractor's responsibilities to provide a safe workplace. To me, this Standard for Safety is critical to our organization as the Standard for Excellence. The very lives of our members depend on it.

Fraternally Yours,

Safety Vision Statement

"Working without injury is our highest value. By maximizing the participation of our most valuable resources, our members, we will seek out and correct all unsafe situations. The only acceptable goal is a zero injury incident rate. This value is embedded in our organization and is a vital part of our culture. Every Local 488 member is expected to actively participate in maintaining this culture.

UA Local 488 - Committed to Safety Excellence
