Safety and Loss Control Services
An integral component of AGC is the strong emphasis on safety, loss control, and industrial hygiene. AGC safety and loss control and industrial hygiene consultants (SLCCs) are your business partners – on target and on the job to help AGC members gain the competitive advantage.
AGC employs safety professionals across the state who provide a wealth of expertise and related services unequaled in the construction industry. They specialize in construction safety and are dedicated to accident prevention.
