Application are OPEN for the 35th Annual National AGC Safety Awards!
Why You Should Participate:
The National AGC Safety Awards (NASA) program has been an ongoing effort since 1991 to offer AGC members an opportunity to evaluate their safety record. 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.
Who Can Participate:
AGC members with direct-hire, job-site craft labor are eligible to compete in the following divisions:
- Building
- Federal & Heavy
- Highway
- Utility Infrastructure
- Associate/Specialty
How the Program Works:
This program is similar to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (BLS‑OSHA) recordkeeping systems. The completed OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses provides the information needed for participation in the NASA Program.
The data is tabulated to produce total lost workday case incidence rates (excluding restricted workdays). The formula for computing “incidence” is structured to multiply the incidence cases involving days away from work (N) times 200,000. The resulting product is then divided by the work hours of exposure (WH). The formula is the days away case incidence rate.
Days Away, Case Incidence Rate = (N x 200,000) / WH
WH is the number of work hours for the calendar year 2024 (including office hours). N is the number of days-away-from-work cases, which represents the number of cases resulting in days away from work but does not include job transfer or restricted activity. N is obtained from the total amount of entries recorded in section (H), total number of cases with days away from work, of the OSHA form 300A.
How You Can Participate:
The application (linked below) is very simple to fill out; it will take 10 minutes (or less) of your time. All of the information to complete the form can be found on your OSHA 300A report.

Please email your completed forms to Molly Johnson.
Imagine using “Recipient of the 2024 National AGC Safety Award” as a marketing tool. You have worked hard to achieve your safety status; why not get the recognition you are due? The only way to do this is to begin applying today and continue annually.
Please take a few moments to fill out your form and return it by the deadline, so we at the Idaho AGC can proudly let our community know of your great achievement!
