Join AGC & USACE for Meeting on Safety Manual Revisions

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has revised the schedule for the EM 385-1-1, 2008 revision to allow more time for industry review, with first draft comments due to USACE before Sept. 1, 2012.  The schedule change provides AGC and its members an opportunity to thoroughly review the entire manual and identify potential areas for improvement or clarification. AGC will be hosting a meeting with members of the Dredging Contractors of America (DCA), as well as the Council for Dredging and Marine Construction Safety (CDMCS) on Aug. 21, 2012, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at AGC Headquarters in Arlington, Va.  On Aug. 22, 2012, USACE staff will meet with the group to discuss any comments and concerns. If you are interested in attending the meeting (in person or by phone), please RSVP no later than COB Aug. 10, 2012 to Raj Vohra at vohrar@agc.org or 703-837-5409.  To make hotel reservations, click here.
