Navigating jobsite risks is an integral part of construction management. AGC’s Risk Management Department employs a comprehensive approach, aimed at not only identifying and analyzing potential sources of construction risk but also equipping contractors with the tools and knowledge needed to safeguard their projects and businesses. Explore our dedicated sections on Safety & Labor, Energy & Environment, Contracts & Law, and Risk Financing & Construction Data to discover how AGC can support your risk management program.
