100 Tie-Off-24-7-LogoWireless Industry Safety Task Force Releases New Public Service Announcement Video
(Denver, Colorado) – The Wireless Industry Safety Task Force today released the second in a series of public service announcements (PSA) as part of the 100% Tie-Off 24/7 Awareness Campaign. The PSA entitled “100% Tie-Off…It’s the Law” was unveiled prior to the Task Force meeting that is being held in Denver, Colorado in conjunction with the 2014 National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) Summer Conference.
“The Wireless Industry Safety Task Force continues to work hard to educate the industry’s workforce and stakeholders on the standards and compliance directives that govern fall protection when working on communication tower structures,” stated NATE Chairwoman Pat Cipov from Cipov Enterprises, Inc. in Sumter, South Carolina. “The fact of the matter remains, 100% Tie-Off is the Law and this PSA continues to echo that safety message,” Cipov exclaimed.
The Task Force’s 100% Tie-Off 24/7 Awareness Campaign was launched in February 2014 and continues to utilize a comprehensive grassroots approach that includes public service announcement videos, paid advertising, earned media efforts, a social media component and collaborating with State Wireless Associations in order to expand the campaign’s reach.
“This latest PSA showcases the resolute commitment that the participating companies involved with the Wireless Industry Safety Task Force have in highlighting the 100% Tie-Off law and ultimately solving all of the industry’s fall protection challenges,” said Task Force member Brad Olson from Nexius.
