The AGC Safety Management Training Course (SMTC) provides attendees three days of training on the basic skills needed to manage a company safety program in the construction industry. Held just a few times per year at select locations around the country, the SMTC program builds on Focus Four training and prepares attendees to manage key safety issues on the job site and provides techniques for delivering basic safety training to field personnel. Participants will receive intensive instruction and training that will allow them to return to their firms with readily applicable new skills to positively impact their company’s safety and health program.

 

As we plan for the sixth year of Safety Week, the construction industry-wide education and awareness event set for May 6-10, 2019, we are excited by how much it has grown in reach and membership. Each year, we are able to engage more workers, clients, communities and families in important conversations about construction safety.
