IV. Upcoming Milestones
In the coming year, OSHA and AIHA will renew its Alliance and continue to provide information,
guidance, and access to training resources to protect employees' health and safety, particularly in
the areas associated with ergonomics and hazard communication. For example, the Alliance will
provide resources for the public on ergonomics through the OSHA-AIHA Alliance Web page and AIHA's
ergonomic Web page. Additionally, representatives from AIHA will continue to serve on the editorial
boards of numerous OSHA Safety and Health Topics pages and eTools, providing expert input on a
number of occupational safety and health issues.
The Alliance implementation team will work with other Alliance Program participants on projects
related to occupational safety and health issues. AIHA will work with ASSE and numerous other
Alliance Program participants to support and promote NAOSH Week 2006, which will be held April
30-May 6, 2006. In addition, AIHA will explore opportunities to work with the Society for Chemical
Hazard Communication to address hazard communication issues such as the GHS.
Through the Alliance, AIHA will develop fact sheets on a variety of safety and health issues, such
as PPE, respiratory protection and noise. The fact sheets will be available free of charge on AIHA's
Web site and on the OSHA and AIHA Web page on OSHA's Web site. OSHA also will consider making the
fact sheets available as part of the curriculum for its short course for small business on health
hazards.
AIHA representatives will work with the American Shipbuilding Association, the National Shipbuilding
Research Program and the Shipbuilders Council of America, other Alliance Program participants, to
develop occupational safety and health resources such as fact sheets that address such issues as
slips, trips and falls, and struck-by in the maritime industry.
In addition, OSHA representatives will continue to serve as ad hoc members of AIHA's ergonomic
committee, and AIHA will provide OSHA with an updated Chapter List for publication on OSHA's Limited
Access Page and use by OSHA staff.
