Advance Safety & Human Performance

One part of AGC Georgia’s job is to help our members keep workers safe, productive and set up for success. This year, OSHA asked us to help train their new compliance officers. Our efforts to protect workers throughout our member companies helped give us the credibility to take on this new request. It is, however, only a small part of our work on safety and human performance.

The tenets we follow are to:

• Advance training and education opportunities

• Develop best practices and knowledge sharing ncrease awareness of mental health within the industry ncrease credibility of human performance measures and outcomes

1A-1B . We are partnering with OSHA to host monthly education sessions for their staff who serve in three area offices around Georgia. These meetings are a great time for members of AGC Georgia contracting firms to provide real world safety training to these agency employees who will be visiting jobsites throughout the state.

2 Hard Hat vs Helmet – members learned a lot from this lunch discussion where several subject matter experts explained the best safety features to look for in today’s gear.

3 . O ur Safety Committee members are passionate about sharing with and learning from their industry peers. Any member interested in construction safety is invited to participate in our hybrid safety meetings either in-person or through a virtual connection. We’ve gotten rave reviews for the seamless virtual connection. This option is great for members who want to participate but need to stay close to their jobsites or offices.

4A-4B Choate Construction Company had a great crowd cheering on their superintendents at a ceremony for the Amerson Supervisor Safety Award program. During this regional metro Atlanta event, we recognized 95 general and specialty contractor superintendents who had no lost time accidents on their jobsites in 2022. Another 150 superintendents from around Georgia also received recognition at seven other Amerson award ceremonies around the state.
