It’s time to think about safety… and being recognized for your excellence in safety

Workplace safety is one of IEC’S core values and members are encouraged to have the safest work environment possible. Each year, the association recognizes those members who have exemplary safety programs and records with the IEC-CNA Safety Award and the Safety Program Awareness & Retention Kit (SPARK). 

These awards are presented as a premier industry acknowledgement and represent an unparalleled opportunity to celebrate the work of all members. IEC and CNA formally recognize electrical and systems contractors who place safety as a high priority in their organization and have the results to prove it. The IEC-CNA Safety Award is viewed as the elite safety award for the industry, recognizing those companies that excel in multiple areas of their safety program. The award was first presented in September 2006.

“Completing the Spark Safety Assessment each year has become a valuable tool for Integrity Electrical Solutions,” says Rick Mulnix, Integrity’s Safety/Risk Manager. “We use it to gauge where your company is at regarding safety. The most important part is to be honest and truthful in your evaluation of your program. Careful evaluation of information that is portrayed as fact is critical. If you are not honest and truthful you will not be able to see where you can make improvements.”

Receiving an IEC SPARK Award is a tremendous achievement, and we urge members and chapters to take advantage of this significant opportunity for visible and tangible recognition.

“For the past 2 years we have achieved the level of Grand Achievement in the Spark Safety Assessment,” says Rick. “Even though we attained this level, we feel it is important to evaluate our program annually because the Spark Safety Assessment allows a company to continually evaluate their safety program.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
