Welcome to the MIllerClapperton Friday 5 e-newsletter where you will stay up to date on all the industry news and updates, as well as what we are working on here at MillerClapperton in 5 quick points! 


#1 STATEMENT ON GRENFELL TOWER FIRE


This week, the Metal Construction Association (MCA) released a STATEMENT following the fire at the Grenfell Tower in London, UK on June 14, 2017. This tragic event has brought forth valid concerns and questions about the construction industry relating to safety. In the statement, the MCA provided links to published TECHNICAL BULLETINS AND WHITE PAPERS to support safe construction in North America.

MillerClapperton, through, the MCA will continue to follow how the facts relate to construction codes in England and how this knowledge can be used in the United States and Canadian construction codes.  The MCA’s goal is to assure that the learnings from this tragic event make responsible construction safer in North America.

#2 KNOW THE HEAT INDEX – GET THE APP


Maintaining a safe workplace is always a top priority, especially during the summer months. We would like to share with you the OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool App that we learned about through the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Georgia newsletter.

Discovering new tools like this one is just another reason why we encourage companies to get involved in industry related associations. This app provides recommendations to prevent heat-related illnesses and to reduce heat stress in outdoor workers, and it is based on local weather conditions used to calculate the heat index.

Read more about why you should understand heat index and how to use the app on the NIOSH SCIENCE BLOG.

Download the app for free at APPLE STORE and GOOGLE PLAY.
