The ATMI Alliance promotes
safe and healthy working conditions for the textile industry’s employees by
providing information and guidance to reduce and prevent exposure to cotton
dust, noise, and the unintended release of mechanical, electrical, or other
energy hazards and by reaching out to members who may benefit from mentoring
or guidance in developing, implementing, or improving safety and health management
systems. The Alliances' goals include:
Outreach and communication:
- Develop and disseminate information and guidance through print and
electronic media, particularly the ATMI and OSHA web sites.
- Promote and encourage the
ATMI members’ participation in OSHA’s cooperative programs and mentoring
among ATMI members.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Encourage Quest members to act as industry liaisons and resources
for OSHA’s cooperative programs and Compliance Assistance Specialists.
- Share information on the best practices of participants in the
Quest for the Best program with other ATMI members.
