Safety Compliance & Resources

Carolinas AGC and the Carolinas AGC Foundation, Inc. have made safety their number one priority for the construction industry. As such, compliance information and access to available resources are open to all construction companies.

Education & Involvement

CAGC and its Foundation host a Safety Committee comprised of companies from all aspects of the industry. This committee serves as subject matter experts and can offer professional guidance for various safety related questions and issues.

CAGC and its Foundation host an annual Safety Conference where compliance issues and regulation changes are discussed in education sessions.

Silica Resources

On September 23, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began enforcing their respirable crystalline silica standard for the construction industry. The standard has established a new exposure limit of 50 micrograms of respirable crystalline silica per cubic meter of air as an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA), along with a host of ancillary provisions such as establishing a written exposure control plan, housekeeping requirements, record-keeping, and medical surveillance.

Carolinas AGC is proud to offer our members the following resources and information to assist with the compliance and implementation of this new rule.
