Legislative Action Center 

To bring about necessary change in our construction industry in the Carolinas, we must take a grassroots approach to make our voices heard. Carolinas AGC, AGC of America and ARTBA are working hard to watch our for the industry interests in local, state and national levels of government. The most powerful influence comes from the people in the industry itself though and we know that collective efforts and collective voices do affect legislation and regulations.

Please make yourself a part of a strong voice in the halls of legislatures by participating in our advocacy campaigns, contacting your elected officials and signing up for our legislative alerts.

Protect Construction from OSHA’s One-Size-Fits-All Heat Rule 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) is trying to arbitrarily adopt a one-size-fits-all national heat standard that’s triggered when the heat index exceeds 80°F as part of its new Heat Safety Rule.

Using a one-size-fits-all heat standard creates impractical requirements and leaves employers vulnerable to citations and penalties. Tell OSHA its final rule must recognize regional differences in climate and account for workers’ behavior and individual health conditions that could put construction employers at increased risk.
