The Associated General Contractors Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) program is the industry’s elite safety excellence awards program. AGC’s CSEA program recognizes companies that have developed and implemented premier safety and loss prevention programs.  The program also showcases companies that have achieved continuous improvements and maintenance of their safety and health management systems.

CSEA recognizes those companies that excel at safety and health performance, examining each candidate’s commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control.  AGC’s CSEA selection process is comprehensive and includes: the review of a company’s management commitment, active employee participation, safety training, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation. State level winners will go on to compete at the national level.  We encourage everyone to participate.  The process of completing the application is a great way to evaluate your current program and identify strengths and weaknesses.
