Today’s challenging economic climate is not the time to back off on safety, but instead to charge ahead with communicating the importance of an accident-free workplace. Establishing safety objectives and defining responsibilities has never been as critical as it is today. Holding people accountable for their actions and evaluating their performance can have a big impact on the bottom line. At one organization, the average cost of a shoulder injury was $50,000, a back injury was $35,000, a knee injury was $30,000 and a hand injury was approximately $20,000. Learn how to prevent these losses and protect your bottom line!
Intended Audience: This course is designed for anyone within the construction industry who is charged with the responsibility to manage jobsite safety.
Successfully Handling an OSHA Inspection

Dan Burazin, AGC of Greater Milwaukee
Employers do have rights during the inspection process, but you must be aware of what they are if you hope to exercise them. As OSHA continues to change the way it does business, it’s more likely your jobsite will be inspected. The more you know about handling an OSHA inspection, the more likely your experience will be less painful and costly. This course will help you find out what you might be doing that catches the eye of the trained OSHA inspector and how to successfully navigate your way through the inspection process.
Intended Audience: This course is designed for anyone who works on jobsites and is especially beneficial to field supervisors and their crews.

Surviving, or even avoiding, a crisis may depend in large part on the strength of your relationships with other stakeholders to a construction project. Understanding others’ perspectives goes a long way toward accomplishing your own goals. To help you better understand the needs of these other parties, the AGC has assembled a team of experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds for an open panel discussion.
These panelists have all been to hell and back and still managed to strengthen partnerships along the way. Their unique perspectives can help provide contractors with crucial insights necessary to manage conflict during crises. This program will help your team appreciate what’s important and why, helping you maintain crucial business relationships and hopefully avoid costly pitfalls.
Intended audience: Junior Executives; Project Managers; and Superintendents.
