A note from the executive vice president
"Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business in which he is engaged. No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions within his sphere." - President Theodore Roosevelt
The Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee is dedicated to the success of the construction industry and invite you to take action and become involved. The Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee is the oldest, largest and most powerful commercial contracting association in the state of Wisconsin. Chartered in 1913 as the Concrete Contractors of Milwaukee, it was later changed to the Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee when the Associated General Contractors of America was born in 1919.
AGC-GM has a rich tradition of providing quality service to its 450 member companies. Consisting of general contractors, subcontractors, specialty contractors, suppliers and service firms, AGC-GM serves a significant membership base all united toward the growth and well being of the construction industry. Over its long history, AGC-GM has helped thousands of contractors and industry professionals build smarter, safer and more profitably.
In our quest to provide quality service to our members and the construction community, AGC-GM continues to develop and fine tune the best in training, education and safety programming. AGC-GM develops and offers various education and training programs for middle and upper management; accident and loss control through our safety program; a field Supervisor Training Program; a labor-relations program; a government-relations program and financial/accounting counsel. We also manage a fully stocked plan room.
As we build into the 21st century, we invite you to take part and learn more about the benefits and services provided with membership in the Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee. Please take a moment to read through the articles highlighting the many services we provide and get to know us a little more.
Safety program
The Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee understands the importance of construction safety and its relationship to the bottom line. As a result, we operate a full-service safety program for our members' use. Staffed with a safety director and an associate safety director, we provide information and interpretation on all safety issues. We also provide research and consultation on all OSHA, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Agency regulations. When necessary, we will have our safety director provide advocacy and defend your interests as a member of AGC-GM at meetings and conferences regarding safety citations, (e.g. OSHA).
Our safety program provides members with an abundance of publications, videos, OSHA 10-hour course training and emergency first-aid training and CPR. It also sponsors numerous seminars on safety and related topics. Additionally, we sponsor Annual Safety Day, including accredited seminars and workshops on emerging safety issues, and we also provide specialized model safety programs on such topics as hazard communication and lead and asbestos abatement. We are committed to providing the highest quality and most timely information on matters associated with safety.
Another unique cost-saving benefit of membership is our Rent-a-Safety-Director program. For those companies that do not have qualified safety personnel on the job site, this AGC-GM benefit allows you, for a members-only fee, to have AGC-GM's associate safety director inspect your job sites on an as-needed basis. The associate safety director will provide comprehensive inspections in a thorough, cost-effective manner. (This service can be used as much or as little as you need.) We at AGC-GM understand your safety needs and we are prepared to satisfy them.
