Today, with the information that is readily available through the internet, and with all the training available for hire (and some for free), there's no excuse for not having a safer mast climbing experience. This is important, not only for the end user, but also for others on jobsites who may not even be using the system.

Consider safety on mast climbers and responsibilities of end users. It's clear that, if you haven't been trained to operate a mast climber, you shouldn't. It's also clear, according to the CPWR (The Center for Construction Research and Training), that in 2010, more than 12,600 mast climbers are in operation daily in the United States. That comes out to around 2.5 million man hours annually, erecting and dismantling this type of equipment.

For you long time members of the Mason Contractors Association of America you likely remember our Annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In where MCAA members from around the country would come to Washington, D.C. meeting with Members of Congress from their home sta

Chairman's Message: While We Are Still Here
April 2025

I truly value my days working on construction sites during the summers of my high school and college days. Some moments in our youth are so clearly meaningful that we file them away in our subconscious to be recalled when life events require inspiration.

Contractor Tip of the Month: The Tough Calls That Define a Leader
April 2025

In construction, every project balances a delicate trio: coordination, precision, and timing. However, beyond blueprints and schedules, leadership demands something far greater—the ability to lead and make difficult decisions that shape the future of a co
