AGC and Zurich Services Corp have teamed up to create a cutting edge comprehensive training program that focuses on the leading causes of fatalities and injuries for highway workers. AGC has scheduled a free webinar for September 30, 2009 at 1-2 PM ET to familiarize you with the Highway Worker Safety Program (HWSP) and describe how it can be used by both large and small general contractors as well as subs or specialty contractors.
