SPFA News and Announcements
The resilience of SPF Professionals resonated last week in San Antonio, Texas, at SprayFoam 2022 (SF22). For many, SF22 was the first convention and expo they attended since the last SPFA Convention and Expo in Pasadena. As many recalled, it was just a few short weeks after our event that COVID-19 shut down the world. It has been a challenging two years, but last week’s convention showed the strength of the SPF industry.
 
Staff is compiling additional information from SprayFoam 2022, and we will be posting post-event updates to our website. Be sure to check it out for the latest recap!
 
Here are some highlights!

From Construction Executive: working in confined spaces can be dangerous on several fronts. These spaces often have a limited number of exits and entryways, making it difficult for workers to evacuate in an emergency. Employers need to have a robust confined space rescue plan in place to ensure they can safely get workers out of spaces when their health and safety are at risk.

SPFA Job Board
SPFA is doing its part to bring awareness of open positions in the industry to our members, partners, and untapped talent pools. For every one of these positions going unfilled it’s an opportunity missed, an extra staffing challenge drawing attention away from other important priorities, or a customer perhaps needing to wait longer than they should have to. 
 
 
   

This directory reflects membership as of June 2021.  If you would like more information on Member Benefits and how to join SPFA to be included in next year’s edition, please contact kmarcavage@sprayfoam.org.
