OSHA Continues Consideration of Safety Checklist for Federal Procurements

AGC Seeking Further Member Input The Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA) Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH) recently released a revised version of a proposed health and safety checklist. ACCSH is seeking to mandate that federal contractors submit this checklist as a source selection evaluation factor for the award of contracts directly from the federal government. AGC previously solicited and reported its feedback from AGC members to ACCSH. AGC welcomes additional member feedback concerning both the need for this checklist and revisions of it. AGC will continue to work closely with OSHA and ACCSH on this and other safety issues.
