The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Safety Task Force

2026 Safety Task Force Roster

Safety is essential and integral to an electrical contractor's successful business operation. The Safety Task Force serves as the association's advisory board on occupational safety and health-related matters affecting the electrical construction industry. A key focus of the task force is to enhance the association's leadership role in safety while assisting members in carrying out their safety-related responsibilities.

The task force, through collaboration with labor, management, government and industry stakeholders, will work to create safe and healthful working conditions in the electrical industry. The task force also helps NECA maintain a unified approach in establishing practical and consensus-based positions that are consistent with NECA's Standing Policy 19, Safety and Health.
