The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) announces its National
Safety Awards (NASA) Program. The deadline for submission of your entry
to AGC of California is February 1, 2016.
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. NASA compares an AGC
member’s safety record with other AGC members according to the member size and construction
type. Additionally, NASA provides a great opportunity for contractor members who have
excellent safety records to compete for nationally recognized awards.
Eligibility: AGC contractor members must have participated in the National AGC Safety
Awards Program for three consecutive years in order to be eligible for an award. This means a
member must have participated in the program for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 in order to be
eligible to receive an award in 2016.
How to Enter: The AGC of California Chapter must submit an entry on behalf of the member
companies. To participate in the program, please use the enclosed form on page 5 to provide the
required information and send an electronic copy to Kasaundra Duncan at: duncank@agc-ca.org,

Award Categories: NASA has two award categories, AGC Chapter Safety Awards and AGC
Member Awards.

participation and the overall incident rate of the Chapter’s general contractor members. Each
Chapter is divided into four size categories:




winners will receive Certificates of Excellence.
AGC Member Awards: Safety awards are given to members who have a zero incident rate or
who have an incident rate 25 per cent below each occupational division’s average (AGC
divisions include: Building, Highway, Federal and Heavy, Municipal/Utilities and
Associate/Specialty.)

three consecutive years and have an incident rate below 25 per cent of their division rate
- Certificate of Commendation.

Program Description
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 contractors
receive a confidential printout to compare their company's safety statistics with similar size and
type AGC contractor members both locally and nationally. NASA provides a great opportunity
for contractor 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 contractors with direct-hire, job-site craft labor are eligible to compete in one or more of
the following categories:
- Building
- Highway
- Associate/Specialty
- Federal & Heavy
- Utility Infrastructure
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 data is tabulated to produce total lost workday case incident rates (excluding restricted
workdays). The formula for computing "incident" is structured to multiply the incident 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 incident rate.
The formula follows:
Days Away, Case Incident Rate =N x 200,000
WH
(WH) is the number of work hours for the calendar year 2015 (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 the Number of Cases section (H) of the OSHA form 300A.

Program Description Continued
The completed OSHA 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses provide the
information needed for contractor participation in the NASA Program. Information on daysaway-from-work cases is found in section (H), fatality information can be obtained from the
number of cases section (G) and the work hours can be found in the establishment information
section.
What a Contractor Must Do to Participate:
National AGC contractor members will receive a NASA form or application from their home
AGC Chapter. Transfer the appropriate information from the OSHA form 300A, including the
work-hour data, to the NASA participant form or application and provide it to your local Chapter
by their deadline.
Award Distribution:
AGC will send all Chapter and Member awards to the home Chapter for later distribution.
