Safety is a core value at The Hagerman Group.
On Feb. 14 and Feb. 15, The Hagerman Group hosted half-day Subcontractor Safety Summits in Fishers and Fort Wayne, inviting subcontractor team members. Approximately 50 people attended each summit.

The overall goal of the summits was to partner with subcontractor team members to strengthen relationships and grow a positive safety culture on The Hagerman Group’s projects. In addition, the events were designed to foster an understanding of the roles team members play in safety while providing a legal perspective on safety.
Each event started with lunch and networking, then opened with a discussion about Hagerman’s
commitment to safety, with Jeff Hagerman, chairman, The Hagerman Group, presenting in Fishers and Brad Smith, executive vice president, Hagerman Inc., presenting in Fort Wayne.

and litigation issues from the construction manager, general contractor and subcontractor
perspectives. Abrams is an attorney and Certified Mine Safety Professional, and her firm represents employers in OSHA and MSHA nationwide. Stressing the importance of continual improvement, Abrams said that following the preplanning meetings process, site-specific plan requirements and other measures outlined during the
Subcontractor Safety Summit not only help comply with rules but also reflect a willingness to participate in the safety culture The Hagerman Group promotes.

The Subcontractor Safety Summits also included exhibitors showcasing their safety products.

Lifting Products. The event concluded with a survey on safety and door prize giveaways.

AGC of Indiana is pleased to provide members with Safety Tool Box Resources.
Cell Phone Use: Cell phone use increases by the millions each year. People of all ages use them for business, pleasure, entertainment, and for emergencies. Many cell phones now offer features that let you take pictures, play games, watch videos, and even listen to music. Although cell phones often make our lives easier and more practical, they can become a serious safety concern.  Learn more.
Causes of Falls: When we think about falls many of us automatically envision falling from a great height. This kind of fall is, of course, very dangerous and most often fatal, and we need to take every precaution to prevent such an occurrence. Today however, our safety meeting will concentrate on the common, everyday hazards that cause slips, trips and falls on the jobsite. Let’s review some of the circumstances that can cause falls and the measures you should be taking to reduce the number of slips, trips, and falls on this job.  Learn more .
