Safety & Health Professionals Advocate for a Safe and Healthy Work Environment

This week, over 125 contractors traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the 2009 AGC Safety and Health Committee Meeting.  In addition to the networking opportunities and forums with federal agencies, attendees received updates on legislative issues that directly affect the safety and health professionals in the construction industry and visited their congressional delegations. During the congressional visits, the safety and health professionals addressed the industry and AGC's strong and lasting commitment to safety, while also stressing the importance of taking a cooperative approach to safety. Cooperative relationships between the construction industry and OSHA help promote safe and healthy work environments. The attendees also advocated for improving highway work zone safety programs.
