professionals and to develop safety curricula.
Outreach and communication:

and benefits of achieving safety and health certifications and to provide expertise in
developing ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic
assistance tools and OSHA's, BCSP's and CCHEST's Web sites) to employers and employees in the
industry.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals
regarding safety and health certification through outreach by BCSP and CCHEST or OSHA developed
materials, workshops, seminars, and lectures.
- Work with other Alliance participants on safety and health certification issues.
