Nov. 30, 2005: AGC Urges Congress To Pass OSHA Reform
WASHINGTON - The Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee, Sen. Michael Enzi (R-Wyo.), has introduced a series of bills designed to reform the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Agreeing with the need to save lives and provide resources to businesses to improve their safety programs, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) announced that it supports legislation designed to advance workplace safety and improve the administrative process.
"The construction industry is committed to improving safety and health in America's work environments," said AGC's CEO Stephen E. Sandherr. "It makes sense to support legislation that seeks to save lives and provide employers with innovative means to provide safety training."
