CHASE PARTNERSHIP
The Construction Health And Safety Excellence (CHASE) program began in 2003 as a partnership between Minnesota OSHA and AGC of Minnesota. The program is designed to recognize AGC member contractors for their safety programs and performance, while providing incentives for partnership.
A recent CHASE Level 3 signing at the Hotel Viking Lakes Project for Kraus-Anderson Construction. This level 3 project has five CHASE contractors working on it (Kraus-Anderson Construction, Danny's Construction, Hunt Electric, ECSI, and Northland Concrete and Masonry).
LEVEL 1
Level 1 is geared toward AGC members who desire recognition for meeting minimum requirements of a safety and health program. All AGC members are encouraged to apply for Level 1 status.
LEVEL 2
Level 2 is geared toward AGC members who desire recognition for having a more comprehensive safety program.
