The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Red National Cross (American Red Cross) hereby renew the Alliance signed on May 19, 2005. OSHA and the American Red Cross continue to recognize the value of providing safe and healthy American workplaces. Through the Alliance renewal, the organizations will provide employees, including non-English and limited English speaking employees, with information, guidance, and access to training resources. In particular, the Alliance will focus on emergency preparedness, disease prevention education and first aid training. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and the American Red Cross recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
OSHA and the American Red Cross will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:
- 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. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA’s and American Red Cross’ Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA and the American Red Cross conferences or other events such as the American Red Cross local chapter meetings.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding American Red Cross best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by American Red Cross and through OSHA- or American Red Cross- developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
- Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects related to emergency preparedness, disease prevention education and first aid training that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
- Encourage American Red Cross chapters to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address safety and health issues including emergency preparedness, disease prevention education and first aid training.
