Mid Atlantic Construction Safety Council

What Mid Atlantic Construction Safety Council does

Mid-Atlantic Construction Safety Council (MACSC) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1996 and headquartered at 1617 John F. Kennedy Blvd, Suite 810, Philadelphia, PA. The organization serves construction safety professionals in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, with scholarship-program reach extending into the New York City area and Northern Maryland. MACSC's membership consists of Construction Safety Specialists drawn from construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, insurance companies and brokers, healthcare, union representatives, consultants, and construction association representatives; over 100 member companies are publicly listed, including Skanska USA Building, Gilbane, Structure Tone, Consigli Construction, L.F. Driscoll, P. Agnes, Torcon, HSC Builders, and IMC Construction. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and managed externally by Alta Management Services, Inc., with Suzanne Geyer serving as Executive Director.

MACSC generates revenue through two primary streams: recurring membership dues and fee-for-service training programs. Training offerings include OSHA 10-Hour and OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety & Health courses delivered in person through partner Med-Tex Services (priced at $500 per student for the 30-hour course), and live online instructor-led courses such as DOT Hazardous Materials Training ($250 per participant) and RCRA Hazardous Waste Training ($150 per participant). Beyond training, the organization runs monthly educational presentations, an annual Safety & Scholarship Awards Luncheon, two scholarship tracks (Academic and Trades, awarding $1,000-$5,000), and recurring safety campaigns including the Fall Protection Equipment Inspection Campaign, Heat Illness Prevention Toolbox Talks, and Mental Health and Suicide in Construction resources. In December 2024, MACSC formalized its position in the safety ecosystem by joining the OSHA Alliance Program as a partner with OSHA Region III.

The business is structured as a community-led, relationship-driven association rather than a technology platform. Distribution is regional and in-person for core OSHA training, with growing online channel reach for specialty courses. Member acquisition and retention rely on monthly meetings, vendor showcases, scholarship initiatives, and industry events, supported by a website (macsc.org), email newsletter, and LinkedIn/Facebook presence. Member benefits extend beyond safety content to lifestyle perks such as the Xfinity Mobile Arena Work Perks discount program. No proprietary technology stack, software product, or AI/ML capability is associated with MACSC; competitive positioning rests on regional brand, OSHA alliance status, multi-stakeholder partner ecosystem (ASSP Philadelphia, CPWR, GBCA, Philadelphia Building Trades Council, Delaware and NJ State Safety Councils), and a 30-year operating history in the Mid-Atlantic construction safety community.
