IV. Results
Although antidotal in nature, results of our Alliance activities are as follows:
- Although this renewed Alliance has only resulted in several meetings and no training or outreach
sessions conducted as a group – individually some of the representing companies have taken steps to
form safety and health committees and to have those committees certified in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Representatives from the participating companies have expressed that the information
discussed and shared at the "Alliance" meetings have been extremely informative and educational.
Several of the topics discussed have become topics that the company’s safety committee has taken the
initiative to discuss at their own meetings to educate their own employees and to expand their
programs.
- Again, at the beginning of this "Alliance", member employers had been somewhat hesitant to
approach OSHA to discuss their safety and health issues. Now, employers have indicated they are much
more willing to talk with us and to call the local Area Office with questions to discuss various
safety and health issues as they pertain to their respective facilities and/or site programs.
