Associated General Contractors of America Partners with ClickSafety to Deliver Construction Safety Online Courses

Associated General Contractors of America Partners with ClickSafety to Deliver Construction Safety Online Courses

Walnut Creek, CA, August 6, 2012 – ClickSafety, a leading provider of online safety training, is pleased to announce a collaborative partnership with Associated General Contractors of America to deliver construction safety online courses at a discounted price to members.

Construction professionals will now be able to take a wide range of mandatory and optional safety training programs online thanks to a new collaboration between the Associated General Contractors of America and ClickSafety, a company authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to provide its online Outreach Training Program. The collaboration will provide a range of online construction-related safety courses, including the mandatory OSHA 10- and 30-hour safety training programs for employees of AGC member firms.

“This new safety program will provide thousands of construction professionals with a tremendous opportunity to sharpen their safety skills,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Our members are constantly looking for ways to improve the safety of their worksites, and this program is designed to make it even easier for them to do just that.”

“We are proud to be a long standing OSHA-authorized Online Outreach Training provider and collaborate with the AGC to help member firms meet the demands of OSHA standards to educate, enable and encourage safety,” said Brian Tonry, executive vice president and general manager of ClickSafety. “With our combined industry leadership, we will provide AGC members unprecedented access to OSHA and construction, environmental and general industry safety courses, resulting in increased awareness of, and responsibility for, safety training.”

Sandherr noted that the association chose to collaborate with ClickSafety because of its long standing relationship with OSHA and ability to offer more than 300 courses and 70 in Spanish. ClickSafety was the first to offer both the OSHA 10Hour Construction and the 30-Hour Construction Courses online. ClickSafety is OSHA-authorized to offer the newly updated OSHA 10-Hour Construction, 30-Hour Construction and 10-Hour General Industry courses that include the highest standards of increased student interactivity and safety content. In addition to the updated OSHA courses, the company offers the 10-Hour Road Builder, 10-Hour Cal/OSHA and 10-Hour Construction Spanish courses, all at a 10 percent discount for AGC members. Some of the courses available to employees of AGC member firms include Focus Four prevention: Fall protection, electrocution, struck-by, caught-between; Mold in construction; EM 385-1-1 safety courses, among others.

The new collaboration builds on the association’s long tradition of providing essential safety training for employees of its member firms. The association has provided the 10- and 30-hour OSHA courses for more than 3,100 workers during the past five years alone. The new collaboration will allow the association to continue providing the mandatory safety training, plus a host of new safety programs designed to reduce construction injuries and fatalities.

This safety training collaboration was designed to complement the range of safety programs the association already provides for its members. Those programs include new, English and Spanish language fall-safety training and a comprehensive work zone safety curriculum. Thanks to the association’s efforts, and the work of its member firms, the construction fatality rate has declined by over 40 percent since 2006.

“Just because we’ve made a lot of progress in improving workplace safety, doesn’t mean our job is done,” Sandherr said. “We are going to keep pushing to provide our members with every opportunity to improve the safety of our industry.”
