The Austin AGC is asking our members to participate in a National Fall Prevention Safety Stand-Down during the weeks of May 4th through the 15th. We are asking companies to set aside time during those weeks to have an open discussion or toolbox talk with their workers about falls and how to prevent them.  Falls remain the leading cause of death in construction.  In 2012, there were 279 fall fatalities (35%) out of 806 total fatalities in construction.   

For more information, e-mail the Austin AGC safety director, Larry Connelly.   

AGC of America's new private exchange program is available exclusively to AGC member firms in Texas with 10+ employees.  It is a private insurance exchange that operates like an online store (think Amazon.com), making it easy for your employees to shop for health insurance and other benefits all on their own or through the help of our dedicated employee hotline. 

It is interactive, easily reproduced and available exclusively to AGC member companies interested in having its own insurance exchange - not only to offer a broad range of health and other insurance benefits to its employees but also to administer the benefits they select.

For planning purposes, firms should request a quote 90-120 days prior to renewal. More information available here.

Wolfdancer will test your skills across a mix of three distinct terrains: rolling prairie land, heavily wooded ridgeline and river valley dotted with native pecan trees. The dramatic layout is also cut by the Lower Colorado River, which runs alongside the course's memorable finishing holes.
