OCA nominates and covers application fees to AGC for the division winners of our annual safety awards . Congratulations to The Great Lakes Construction Company, for winning this prestigious award, and for prioritizing the safety and well-being of their greatest assets…. their employees!
Each year AGC of America conducts a survey of members involved in highway construction work to evaluate the state of highway work zone safety. They want to collect information on the number, severity, impacts and potential solutions to highway work zone crashes. Their intention is to use the information collected from this survey as the main focus of a media and public education campaign we will launch the week before Memorial Day, the traditional start of the summer driving season.
Please take a few brief moments to complete this important highway work zone safety survey by May 15th.
And of course, please do not hesitate to contact Brian Turmail at 703-459-0238 or [email protected] with any questions, comments or concerns about this survey and their plans to promote highway work zone safety through the data.
Thank you in advance for making the time to complete this survey.
