Overview
OSHA and the GOCACHMM formed an Alliance to provide members and others with information, guidance,
and access to training resources. Through the Alliance, the organizations work to improve health and
safety in the workplace by helping businesses, small businesses in particular, in their efforts to
implement effective safety and health management systems.
Providing training on safety and health management systems to employers and employees and sharing
best practices to prevent employee exposure to workplace hazards is the focus of an alliance between
the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Greater
Ozarks Chapter of Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers (GOCACHMM).
During the two-year alliance, OSHA and GOCACHMM will work together to provide members and other
small businesses with information and guidance to help them protect workers' safety and health and
increase access to information and training resources. The alliance will assist in training and
education programs on safety and health management systems, the prevention of accidents, accident
investigation and analysis, job safety, first aid and other topics.
