OSHA's Alliance with the ACPA focuses on providing
ACPA members and others in the industry with information, especially in reducing
and preventing exposure to confined space hazards by developing, implementing,
or improving confined space programs. OSHA and ACPA will work together to develop
and disseminate outreach materials, identify topics that can be addressed in
eTools and other electronic assistance products, cross train OSHA and ACPA personnel
in confined space hazards specific to the concrete pipe industry, explore opportunities
to establish forums for discussion, and encourage ACPA members to participate
in OSHA's cooperative programs. Alliance goals are:
Outreach and communication:
- Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media that serve the concrete pipe
industry, including, as applicable, links to selected pages on OSHA's and ACPA's web sites.
- ACPA will assist OSHA in identifying safety and health issues specific to the concrete pipe industry
that can be addressed in eTools and other electronic assistance products for the OSHA Web site.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at conferences such as the annual ACPA conference, local meetings, or other
events that serve the concrete pipe industry to promote the effectiveness of confined space programs in
preventing injury or workplace illness.
- Cross train OSHA personnel and ACPA safety and health professionals in confined space entry hazards
specific to the concrete pipe industry and best practices, as jointly determined by OSHA and ACPA.
- Explore opportunities to establish forums at ACPA conferences and regional or state chapter meetings to
discuss injuries and illnesses relating to confined space issues that frequently occur in ACPA member's
plants in order to help forge innovative solutions to these problems in the workplace.
- Promote to ACPA members the potential benefits of their participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such
as Compliance Assistance, the Voluntary Protection Program, Consultation, and SHARP.
