Last Saturday, OVCEC celebrated the Wheeling Nailers exciting win on opening night with several of our members and their families as part of Union & Trades Workers Appreciation Night.

If you missed it, there’s another opportunity to network with your industry colleagues right around the corner! We have only a few tickets remaining for the ice-level Powerball Suite as your Nailers face the Indy Fuel on Pittsburgh Pirates Night on Saturday, November 16. OVCEC will be the presenting sponsor and will have a private meet-and-greet with Neil Walker in the suite.

The tickets are free to members, and families are welcome. Gametime is 7:10 p.m. Email krista@ovcec.com to join us. 

Let's Go Nailers!

Construction jobsite death rates have remained stagnant for a decade. Industry mantras have claimed the only acceptable number of injuries and deaths is zero, yet fatalities haven’t budged.

The industry’s fatal injury rate has plateaued at around 10 deaths per 100,000 full-time workers. To help move the needle, safety leaders have begun pursuing new methods to measure success in safety. They say established, existing metrics are flawed.
