The OSHA and AIHA Alliance focuses on providing AIHA members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, particularly by focusing on construction and general industry issues and emergency response. The Alliance's goals include:

Outreach and communication:
  • 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 to employers and employees in the industry.
  • Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding AIHA’s best practices or effective approaches, with a focus on small and medium size businesses, and publicize results through outreach by AIHA and through OSHA- or AIHA developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, lectures.
  • Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s or AIHA’s conferences, local meetings, or other events, including the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Expo (AIHce).
  • Encourage AIHA local sections to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues addressed through the Alliance.
  • Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program, including support for North American Occupational Safety and Health Week.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace health and safety:
  • Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings on issues relating to protecting worker health to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.
