National Construction Safety Week to Kick off May 6 During Safety Event with Seattle-based Sound Transit

This year’s National Construction Safety Week will start on Monday, May 6 with an official kick-off safety event being hosted by Sound Transit, which serves the Seattle metropolitan area. AGC of America is the first-ever signature sponsor for National Construction Safety Week, the annual industry-led event designed to highlight steps construction firms are taking to improve jobsite health and safety. AGC of America CEO Stephen E. Sandherr will participate in the Seattle event to outline the industry’s commitment to worksite health and safety.

The theme for this year’s National Construction Safety Week is “Safe by Choice,” which reflects the commitment of individuals, projects, companies and the industry to do whatever it takes to ensure our safety programs are best-in-class. We welcome, and encourage, all AGC member firms and chapters to participate in this year’s events. Visit http://www.constructionsafetyweek.com to learn more.
