The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) recently issued its top individual safety honor — the Naphis Mitchell-Reyes Excellent Safety Professional Award, to roofing industry veteran Brock Hamre. Though he’s not a roofing contractor, he’s had a hand in numerous installs in greater Minneapolis and helping roofers get home safely every night.  

As the safety and health resource professional for the Twin City Roofing Contractors Association, he oversees safety training, jobsite inspections, and representation at OSHA hearings for member companies. His responsibilities include OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 training, rigging and signaling qualifications, fall protection, forklift and RTFL training, aerial lift safety, confined space entry, NRCA CERTA certification, MRCA HAWT training, American Red Cross CPR/First Aid, and Focus Four training, among others.
