It is with immense pride and heartfelt appreciation that we announce the appointment of Aaron Hawks, our Director of Organizational Development, to the Safety Education & Training Committee of the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) Crane & Rigging Group.

This distinguished committee plays a vital role in shaping the safety landscape of our industry. Charged with monitoring critical safety developments and advising on proactive measures, its scope encompasses safety programming, legislative and regulatory advocacy, standard-setting, and collaborative liaison efforts with the Ironworkers Labor/Management Safety Advisory Committee.

Appointment to this committee is not merely recognition; it is a testament to one’s unwavering commitment to industry excellence. Membership is reserved for those who have demonstrated at least two years of active engagement within the SC&RA and possess the insight, integrity, and dedication necessary to guide the association forward.

The SC&RA itself represents over 1,400 member companies across 46 countries, uniting professionals from the fields of specialized transportation, machinery moving, industrial maintenance, millwrighting, crane operations, manufacturing, and rental. Through its mission to advocate, educate, and connect, the SC&RA elevates safety, legality, and profitability within the industry on a global scale.

Aaron’s appointment is both a personal milestone and a moment of collective pride for our organization. At W.O. Grubb Crane Rental, we have long championed a culture where safety, continuous learning, and operational excellence are not just expectations; they are core values. Through our steadfast commitment to training, investment in workforce development, and support of industry best practices, we have consistently positioned safety at the forefront of our mission. Aaron’s belief in the transformative power of associations like the SC&RA underscores our shared vision: to elevate not just our team, but the entire industry. As he begins this three-year term, he does so as a representative not only of himself, but of the values and dedication that define W.O. Grubb.

Please join us in congratulating Aaron on this well-deserved appointment. We are proud to stand behind him as he embarks on this meaningful journey of service and leadership.
