RCASF’s Educational Training Day Focused on Educating Workers

Lisa Pate, FRSA Executive Director

At the end of February, the Roofing Contractors Association of South Florida (RCASF) held their second annual educational training day at SOPREMA’s Pompano Beach training facility. There were 339 attendees, which included company owners, supervisors, foremen and workers. Attendees broke up into groups and rotated through various training stations. You could feel the positive energy in the classrooms and hands-on demonstration areas as topics included: roof coatings clarifications, adhesive applications, hot-air welding, safety and fall protection harnesses, fire rescue prevention and first aid, networking, helping property owners after the storm, sales calls, permitting updates and company culture.

In addition to training sessions, there were tabletop displays from vendors, including FRSA. This gave us an opportunity to support the RCASF Affiliate and to meet members and perspective members while sharing benefits and program information. Interesting facts shared by RCASF included:

• Office track trainers – 5
• Field track trainers – 19
• Translators – 5
• Volunteers – 21
• Chefs – 4
• Pastries – 903
• Sponsors – 9
• Table sponsors – 12
• Raffle prizes – 15

Congratulations to the RCASF Board of Directors and Committee members on another successful event!
