UWUA’s Safety Committee advocates for all members working in the utility sector. Committee members, led by Safety Director John “Scotty” MacNeill, convene regularly to discuss ways to raise awareness of best safety practices, share ideas for how to prevent workplace injury and illness, and offer support to locals that want to improve and take ownership for their own on-the-job safety. The Safety Committee’s training and educational programming is available to any local that’s interested.

For more information about how the Safety Committee can support your local union, reach out to John “Scotty” MacNeill at john.macneill@uwua.net, or contact your industry’s safety representative.
