Do You Have an Emergency Response Planning Program

in Place?

Start the new year off right with CPR Training. CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. Be ready and train your employees to learn critical information that could help save a life.

• There are about 10,000 cardiac arrests in the workplace each year in the United States, according to a report from the US Occupational Safety & Health Administration.
• Did you know: only 50% of people can locate an automated external defibrillator (AED) at work?
• With 10,000 cardiac arrests annually in the workplace, knowing this small piece of information has the potential to save thousands of lives.

Honoring Don Jones

Last month our industry lost a tremendous leader, Don Jones, with Bellows Construction. Don was a true leader in the Houston construction industry, and a champion for AGC during his 35-year career for W.S. Bellows. A past Chair of the AGC Houston Board of Directors and longtime Board Member, Don also served as President of the AGC Texas Building Branch.

AGC Houston will be hosting a reception to honor and pay tribute to Don on Tuesday, January 10, from 1-3 p.m. (come and go) here at the AGC Office. We encourage any and all construction industry friends to join us for snacks and beverages as we remember our dear colleague.
