Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) entered into a formal partnership that officials from both organizations say will help focus efforts to make construction sites safer across the nation.
The Construction Health and Safety Excellence (CHASE) agreement–creating three tiers of safety and health performance–was signed by OSHA Administrator Charles N. Jeffress and AGC Executive Vice President and CEO Stephen E. Sandherr.
“This partnership not only formalizes our cooperative relationship,” Jeffress said, “but stands as a statement of principles.”
