Risk Management 201 for Construction Safety Professionals
Monday, July 15, 2024 | 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM | $249
An increasing number of construction safety and health professionals are tasked with risk management within their organizations. As this trend continues, so does the need for these professionals to better understand a broader scope of risk exposures and their potential impact on construction firms.
This course builds on the Risk Management 101 for Construction Safety Professionals and covers more advanced topics, such as lines of insurance coverage for contractors, subcontractor prequalification, and the project review process. You will learn about what actions contractors can take that will influence your insurance rates. The course will have group exercises to allow participants to roll their sleeves up to get a full understanding of claims, who are all the parties involved in a claim, and what is your role when it comes to claims reviews.
Attendees can earn up to 0.3 IACET CEUs for the entire course.

In-House Environmental Managers Meeting
A Day of Peer-Driven Roundtable Discussions
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 | 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM | $329
AGC is pleased to offer a series of roundtable discussions exclusively for in-house environmental managers at general construction firms.
The discussions are highly interactive and intended for environmental managers at general construction firms, though, participants’ job titles could be project managers, sustainability managers or risk managers. This meeting is not open to outside industry consultants, though they are welcome and encouraged to register for the FULL Construction Safety, Health & Environmental Conference or the Climate & Sustainability One Day Pass.
AGC will poll participants in advance of the meeting to identify the topics and discussion leaders. Although highly educational, there are no formal presentations. The meeting is meant to foster peer-to-peer learning and discussion of the unique opportunities, situations and challenges for environmental professionals working “in-house” at a construction firm.
