50 Forest Electric construction workers wear pink hard hats at job sites in October


EDISON, NJ –– Forest Electric NJ announced that 50 of its construction workers at various job sites throughout New Jersey wore EMCOR Pink Hard Hats in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as a “Call to Action” supporting breast cancer screening and awareness as part of EMCOR’s 8th Annual “Protect Yourself. Get Screened Today.” campaign. One of the leaders in data communications and other electrical systems, Forest Electric New Jersey is a subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc., a Fortune 500 leader in mechanical and electrical construction, industrial and energy infrastructure, and building services for a diverse range of businesses. “This is EMCOR’s 8th consecutive year of spearheading the national Pink Hard Hat initiative. Over the years people have come forward to say they believe this unique way of raising awareness of the importance of breast cancer screening has had a positive impact on their own lives or that of a loved one,” stated Harry Sassaman, President, Forest Electric New Jersey. “Many of our employees wear hard hats on a daily basis for personal protection, and we’re proud of their commitment to wear an EMCOR/ Forest Electric New Jersey Pink Hard Hat in October to raise awareness for breast cancer, reminding women and men they can help protect themselves by getting screened.” Forest Electric New Jersey employees will be joined by thousands of additional EMCOR employees nationally wearing Pink Hard Hats during October at hundreds of work sites, ranging from hospitals to bridges, malls to military bases, and data centers to refineries. The “multiplier effect” continues as even more people are reached with the “Protect Yourself. Get Screened Today.” message when EMCOR employees take the Pink Hard Hats home each night and they are seen by spouses, daughters, sisters, neighbors, and many others. Millions more people will be reached nationally by EMCOR’s fleet of 7,000+ service vehicles, including Forest Electric New Jersey’s vehicles, which are displaying Pink Hard Hat posters during October with the “Protect Yourself. Get Screened Today.” campaign message.
