On January 22, AGC of America, at their semi-annual Construction Safety & Health Conference, recognized three members for their decades-long contribution to the safety and health profession, the association, and its safety and health committee.
James T. Goss, Sr., Safety Consultant at HCSS, was presented with the Outstanding Service and Dedication to Safety and Health award by his son Matthew Goss, Director Environmental Health & Safety at Stark Tech.
“This year’s recipient has been a dedicated member of AGC for over 25 years, serving 20 years as a trainer, 15 years on the AGC Safety & Health Committee, and as a member of the Government Affairs Subcommittee. This award holds special significance for me and many others in this room. When I think of this individual, words like dedication, commitment, and hard work come to mind. Personally, I owe much of my career success to his knowledge, mentorship, and unwavering commitment. I know many professionals here today share this sentiment. Please join me in congratulating my father, Jim Goss.”
