Construction Safety Management Certificate (CSMC)

The AGC Construction Safety Management Certificate (CSMC) is a powerful step towards advancing your career and becoming a leader in construction safety. In an industry where every decision impacts lives, having the right credentials not only sets you apart but also equips you with the expertise to make the safest, most informed choices. This certificate program goes beyond basic compliance—it demonstrates your commitment to excellence, elevating your knowledge of cutting-edge safety protocols, risk management strategies, and leadership skills.

The CSMC consists of four (4) courses. AGC recommends taking these courses in the order in which they are listed. However, regardless of the order in which the courses are completed, the Construction Safety Management Certificate (CSMC) will only be issued upon successful completion of all four (4) courses. Upon completion of each individual CSMC course, participants will also receive a certificate.
