The health, safety and well-being of all NECA Boston Chapter members, our construction crews, our office staff and the communities in which we serve and live are our most important considerations during the COVID-19 crisis.
As NECA Boston responds to the ever-changing circumstances related to the coronavirus crisis, we will take all steps necessary to reduce pressure on our healthcare professionals and our local communities, while at the same time, ensure that our region’s critical facilities and infrastructure remain operational to serve the public.
Keeping Your Up-to-Date
As the leading voice of the electrical construction industry in the nation, NECA has taken a proactive role to keep our contractors and workers informed of all government-mandated policies relating to COVID-19, as well as to ensure the most stringent safety measures are employed in the workplace and on construction sites. As a result of constantly evolving guidance and advisories from national, state and local authorities, NECA Boston will be updating its resources and keeping contractors notified on an ongoing basis.
