OSHA Forms national Alliance with the Construction Institute of the
American Society of Civil Engineers.
|
|
OSHA and CI will recognize the value of collaborative efforts to achieve
workplace safety. Through this Alliance, the organizations will encourage employers in the
construction industry to increase employee access to safety and health information and training
resources and to incorporate safety and health issues into the construction/constructability
process. The goals of the Alliance include:
Training and education:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop training and education programs for employees of
civil engineering, construction, and construction engineering and management and consulting
companies regarding crane safety and construction/constructability, and to provide expertise in
communicating such information to employers and employees in the construction industry.
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 (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA's and the CI's
Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
- Speak, exhibit, and/or appear at conferences, local meetings, or other events such as annual
and regional meetings of the Construction Institute, and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding
CI's best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by CI and
through OSHA- or CI-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or
any other applicable forum).
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Convene or participate in forums and roundtable discussions on construction safety issues such
as designing for construction safety to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.
