OSHA Awards AGC of America Work Zone Safety Grant

On Sept. 8, 2014, OSHA awarded more than $10 million through the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program to 78 nonprofit organizations, including a $135,000 grant to AGC of America for work zone safety training.

The training will offer 7.5-hour highway work zone safety training to road construction workers, company officers, and managers. The target audience includes low-literacy and limited English proficiency road construction workers. The training, which will be nationwide, will review OSHA standards, proper set up of highway work zones, flagger safety, and heavy equipment management. A CD of the training materials will be developed for distribution in class. Training will be provided in English and Spanish.
