"Working together, this alliance can develop effective training courses, present workshops, and provide more workers with information and procedures to prevent construction-related accidents," said Cindy Coe Laseter, OSHA's Atlanta regional administrator.

Santiago, director of OSHA's Fort Lauderdale area office; Gene Ouellette, executive director of the Florida Institute for Safety and Construction; and B.
