AGC/C and OSHA Sign CHASE Agreement

The Associated General Contractors of Colorado and the two Region VIII OSHA offices recently signed an agreement intended to foster a better working relationship and improve the industry's image. The Construction Health and Safety Excellence Agreement was signed March 25 at AGC/C's General Membership Meeting.

CHASE is part of a national partnering program to reduce construction accidents. AGC/C will use the CHASE requirements to evaluate company safety programs for eligibility and help partnering contractors improve their safety records. In turn, OSHA will target its limited resources toward jobsites that may have problems.
