Safety Awards

National AGC Safety Awards (NASA)

The National AGC Safety Awards program offers AGC members an opportunity to evaluate their safety records. Participating members receive a confidential printout to compare their company's safety statistics with similar size and type AGC members both locally and nationally.  The NASA provides a great opportunity for members with excellent safety records to compete for nationally recognized awards. Additionally, this information can be used to assist in determining if additional accident prevention and loss-control measures are necessary.

How to Apply: A chapter must submit an application on behalf of the AGC CT member company. Applications for the 2023 awards will open in late November and will be due no later than February 9, 2024.

The 2022 NASA Certificates will be presented at the AGC of CT Industry Recognition Awards Dinner on October 12, 2023.
