PCBI is the second largest chamber in the United States and has over 10,000 members; eighty-two percent are designated as small employers. OSHA safety and health Alliances are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships with trade associations, labor organizations and employers. "We will offer information on the top 25 items that companies are frequently cited for under OSHA's General Industry standards," said Bob Fink, area director of the Harrisburg OSHA office. "We will also develop training and education programs for issues relevant to PCBI members." The Alliance also calls for OSHA and PCBI to work together to disseminate information through websites, speakers, appearances at statewide safety conferences and local meetings and exhibits displays.
