The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced last week that its Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH) and National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) will be meeting virtually on April 24 (1:00 PM – 5:30 PM Eastern) and May 7 (9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Eastern), respectively. Important topics on these agendas include an OSHA Regulatory Update, Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Rulemaking, and Infectious Diseases Rulemaking. There will be opportunities for public comment in both meetings. AGC encourages members to attend these two important meetings and weigh in on these important issues.

A heartfelt thank you to all our amazing attendees, sponsors, speakers, and staff who made the 2024 AGC Annual Convention unforgettable! Your energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to the industry inspire us every day. 🌟 Until next time...Columbus, Ohio awaits in 2025! See you there!
