Dealers Association.

Through the Alliance, OSHA and NLBMDA will work together and with other
interested parties to increase overall safety awareness in the lumber and
building materials industry while specifically addressing recordkeeping issues
and reducing or preventing forklift accidents and lifting strains. The Alliance will help raise awareness
of OSHA's recordkeeping requirements by developing and providing information and training resources for
the lumber and building material industry. The Alliance's goals include:
Training and education:
- Develop, while addressing language and literacy issues, training, education programs, and "tool box talks"
on recordkeeping, forklifts, and safe lifting for the lumber and building material industry.
Outreach and communication:
- Develop electronic assistance tools that address recordkeeping issues as
well as safety and health hazards including reducing and preventing forklift
accidents and lifting strains.
- Encourage NLBMDA chapters to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and
Area Offices.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Encourage NLBMDA's members to act as industry liaisons and resources for OSHA's cooperative
programs and Compliance Assistance Specialists.
