PRODUCTS
Soft-Tissue Injury Prevention Program
According to recent insurance industry estimates, soft-tissue
injuries account for one-third of total claims and two-thirds
of the total cost for workers' compensation losses. AGC partnered
with Zurich, an insurance-based financial services provider,
to develop training materials focusing on why soft tissue
injuries occur. The materials also highlight effective methods
to reduce the number of soft-tissue injuries such as back
injuries, sprains and strains and pinched nerves-and most
importantly, how you should reduce them.
The package includes:
> The Trainer's Manual with
Instructional PowerPoint CD. It is an easy-to-use tool
to assist the trainer in preparing and presenting the soft-tissue
injury prevention program. It includes an instructional PowerPoint
CD, that brings the concepts to life. Retail price:
$127.50; Member price: $85
> The Easy-To-Understand
Participant's Guide. It leads students through
the program and serves as a great resource after the course.
(Set of 10) Retail price: $75; Member price:
$50 (Additional sets also available)
> The Training Videotape.
It enhances the course material by bringing to life
examples of what to do and what not to do on the work site.

Take the Steps: Stairway &
Ladder Safety for Construction (Video)
Did you know that every year hundreds of construction workers
are injured and several die while working on ladders or stairways?
AGC has developed a 15-minute video to help you understand
the potential hazards of stairway and ladder use. It will
explain industry standards for stairway and ladder construction,
and review techniques and practices for their safe use. This
industry resource helps you understand what steps to take-each
and every time you use or work on stairways and ladders.

Construction Estimating and
Bidding: Theory-Principles-Processes (Second Edition)
This comprehensive text covers the entire estimating process.
Well-written, logically sequenced and easy to understand,
it has become the benchmark by which other such texts are
judged. Construction Estimating and Bidding is ideal for AGC
chapter-sponsored estimating classes as the basic text or
a reference, and it has been accepted as the primary textbook
by top instructors at many major university construction degree
programs. The book was written by construction professionals-members
of AGC's Construction Education Committee. Among other improvements,
the Second Edition clarifies several examples, expands the
scope of "Cost of Work," and updates the extensive
glossary. Retail price: $127.50; Member price:
$85
