STAR Initiative Companies Represent Best-in-Class
for Safety and Quality

The National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) has announced the member companies who have been formally approved to participate in the STAR Initiative program for the 2018-2019 year.

The NATE STAR Initiative is currently entering its eighth year and is the Association’s signature program designed to help companies operate safely and recognize tower contractors, owners and carriers who voluntarily adhere to higher safety standards. The NATE STAR Initiative emphasizes Safety, Training, Accountability and Reliability by requiring participants to commit to requisite levels of training, site safety audits and the implementation of safety programs while adhering to industry best practices. STAR Initiative participants also receive discounts on designated training courses offered on the NATE EXCHANGE, a dynamic website platform connecting companies to training courses offered in the tower industry.

“I am excited to have my company once again participate in the STAR Initiative Program for another year,” stated NATE Board of Directors member Bryan Lee from Lee Antenna & Line Service, Inc. in Springtown, Penn. “NATE STAR Initiative companies are currently on the front lines safely performing activities as diverse as small cell network densification installations, rural broadband deployments, new macro tower builds and upgrading and moving equipment on broadcast towers with the repack transition. The common denominator in all of this work is that STAR Initiative participating companies are a trusted resource to conduct this work so vital for our nation’s economy in a safe and quality manner,” added Lee.

Participating companies also can utilize the STAR Initiative App designed to enhance their program experience and provide a convenient means of submitting Site Safety Audit documentation in real-time directly from the field via smart phone, tablet computer or other mobile devices. The official NATE STAR Initiative App is available as a free download in both iOS (Apple) and Android platforms.
