2025 MCAA Safety Professional of the Year Announced… Calvin Clark, Enerfab

During the annual Safety & Health Conference in Austin, Texas, MCAA and Milwaukee Tool announced the 2025 winner of the Safety Professional of the Year: Calvin Clark of Enerfab.

Calvin Clark, Vice President of Safety & Quality at Enerfab, has been honored with the prestigious MCAA/Milwaukee Tool Safety Professional of the Year award, recognizing his outstanding contributions to safety in the mechanical construction industry. With over four decades of experience, Calvin’s journey from Boilermaker to executive leader has equipped him with a unique perspective that bridges the gap between safety protocols and practical, actionable guidance for crews on the jobsite.

His leadership has driven Enerfab’s transformation toward a behavioral-based, proactive safety culture—
empowering employees to identify hazards and take responsibility for safety outcomes. Notable initiatives under his direction include Human Performance Improvement Tools, the First 5 Program targeting the most dangerous aspects of work, Anticipate Safety, Safety One Day at a Time, and Stop Work Authority—all contributing to Enerfab’s impressive five-year average TRIR of 0.72.

Clark’s impact extends beyond programs and statistics; he has fundamentally enhanced Enerfab’s safety culture by fostering mentorship, leadership development, and a commitment to continuous improvement. He has built a robust network of over 70 safety professionals, championed the adoption of digital safety tools like Procore for real-time reporting, and ensured that every leader within the company receives safety leadership training. Calvin’s approach is deeply aligned with Enerfab’s core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity, Community, and Grit, and he is known for his hands-on vision and passionate determination. His dedication to communication and integrity has set a new standard for safety excellence within the organization.

“Calvin’s leadership goes well beyond his accomplishments at Enerfab—he is respected nationally and across the broader construction and service industry. He actively participates in industry groups such as TAUC, NACBE, and MCAA, sharing lessons learned and mentoring safety professionals across the sector. Calvin’s commitment to mentorship is evident in his support for safety directors at other companies and his involvement in the Safety Social industry cohort, which fosters collaboration and support among safety professionals,“ said Raffi Elchemmas, MCAA Executive Director.

Additionally, Calvin will receive this award at the MCAA26 Convention in Phoenix, AZ, in March.

MCAA congratulates Calvin and applauds the entire Enerfab team for their commitment to safety.
