Through the OSHA and Airline Industry Alliance, the organizations will use
their collective expertise to help advance a culture of prevention while sharing best practices and
technical knowledge, especially in the area of ergonomics and the issues related to handling
passenger checked baggage. The Alliance’s goals include:
Training and education:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop an industry training manual (referred to as a
training module in the Alliance signed 11/12/02), for employees on the handling of checked baggage
and make it available, without charge, to the aviation industry, OSHA, and other interested
parties.
Outreach and communication:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention
of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such
information, e.g. OSHA’s Baggage Handling eTool and the Airline Industry Safety & Health Topics
page.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace
safety and health:
- Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings and
share information with interested parties on issues including ergonomics to help forge
innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues,
including conducting an informational seminar with and disseminating information to
regulatory agencies, international organizations and other interested parties, both
domestically and internationally.
