Since the program’s inception in 1982, the AGC Georgia Site Safety Van ser v ice has trained over 613,000 people!

To advance safet y education among our workforce this past year, tr aining was delivered in the classroom and to 122 member firms on their jobsites using the Chapter’s Site Safet y Van ser v ice. Affinit y Ser v ice Group (ASG) personnel work in tandem w ith AGC Georg ia to conduct much of this tr aining . Safet y topics are customized to fit the specific site safet y needs on a par ticular project. For our members who par ticipate in the Chapter’s workers’ compensation prog r am, CompTrust AGC Mutual Captive Insur ance Company, ASG safet y personnel conduct regular safet y audits on projects and prov ide repor ts to company management.

In a new par tnership w ith ClickSafet y, AGC Georgia members now have the added convenience of accessing safet y training online. This is especially helpful for members whose projects require workers w ith a specific level of safet y training before allow ing them on a jobsite.

In November 2012, we renovated our training facilit y to meet a grow ing demand for classroom space. The facilit y now has three classrooms, and can accommodate over 125 people a day. More of our members are learning how they can use this facilit y for their ow n meeting/training needs.
