WASHINGTON, D.C. — Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announces that Greg Sizemore, ABC’s Vice President of Health, Safety, Education and Workforce Development, has been appointed to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH). ACCSH provides the U.S. Department of Labor with guidance to improve workplace safety and health in the construction industry. Sizemore has been appointed for a two-year term to represent U.S construction employers on the committee.

“I’m honored to be appointed to the Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health to continue to assess and advance safety conditions in the construction industry,” Sizemore said. “It is essential we send construction employees home in the same — or better — condition than when they arrive on the jobsite. And that work takes leadership, dedication and partnership from all facets of our industry.”

In his role at ABC, Sizemore is a key liaison between the construction industry and the public sector on safety and workforce development initiatives. He oversees a network of 800 education programs and leads ABC’s health, safety, environment and workforce development initiatives. Sizemore is also responsible for ABC’s STEP safety management system, a tool that increases safety performance among participants by reducing recordable incidents by up to 85 percent.
