mittee continues to work on writing the ANSI A10.48
Tower Safety Standard, which, upon completion, will
be the first tower safety standard that encompasses
the entire tower erection, service and maintenance in-
dustry. Completing the A10.48 Standard is a top prior-
ity of the association, and we are committed to provid-
ing the resources and support necessary to make it
happen.
Through NATE’s legislative and regulatory efforts, the
association continues to work diligently with officials
from OSHA, the FCC, members of Congress, Congres-
sional committee staff and other federal and state
government entities in order to advance the mission
of safety, standards and education in the policy and
regulatory arenas.
NATE and OSHA have the same goals in terms of ad-
vocating for a safe workplace and ensuring that every
worker is able to return home safely each evening.
Most recently, several NATE representatives partici-
pated in an authorized climber training course with
several OSHA officials in order to help educate OSHA
on the unique nature and challenges associated with
the tower construction and maintenance industry.
The association continues to host NATE UNITE, the
premier conference and exposition in the wireless in-
frastructure industry. NATE UNITE 2015, our 20th an-
niversary trade show, will take place in Orlando, Fla.
from Feb. 23-26, 2015. NATE UNITE 2015 is the place
to interact with key decision-makers in the broadcast
and telecommunications tower industry.
NATE will continue to work relentlessly to help create
a culture of safety and professionalism in the industry
so every tower industry worker can return home safely
each and every night.
Safety first, safety always.
