Report Period
July 29, 2005 – July 28, 2006
II. Implementation Team Meetings
The primary product of this alliance is OSHA participation in annual
Construction Career Days events in Southern New England. These events are well
established. Therefore, rather than using meetings as a forum to plan,
communication takes place and information is exchanged via e-mail.
III. Events and Products
Training and Education
OSHA participated in Construction Career days events in Connecticut and Rhode
Island during the reporting period. These were two-day events in each state. The
Connecticut offices distributed the double sided OSHA hard hat magnets and the
Providence Office distributed “Teen Summer Job Safety” stickers modeled after
the national OSHA campaign. These were used to remind each teen of his or her
right to a safe and healthy workplace. Teen worker booklets and other safety
literature were available for the attendees. At the Connecticut event literature
was also distributed regarding working for the federal government. In addition,
OSHA staff demonstrated the use of noise and air monitoring equipment.
Outreach and Communication
The Construction Career Days events provided a valuable opportunity for OSHA to
network with vocational school instructors.
