effective safety management systems' related training. The Alliance's goals include:
Training and education:
- Provide the OSHA Training Institute, upon request, with educational and training materials and

conferences, meetings and through NSMS' learning network, when OSHA and NSMS jointly identify the need.
Outreach and communication:
- Disseminate and raise awareness of the use of OSHA and/or NSMS developed information and guidance on
safety management systems through NSMS' newsletters, Web site, workshops, meetings, and other resources.
- Establish avenues and processes that NSMS members can use to mentor and
assist OSHA personnel as they proceed with professional
certification.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety
and health:
