Through the OSHA and NSC Alliance, the organizations will work together to
improve health and safety in the general and construction industries and provide the nation's
employers and employees, including small businesses and Hispanic and youth workers, with
information, guidance, and access to training resources. In particular, the Alliance will focus on
promoting motor vehicle safety and drug-free workplaces and encouraging first aid, Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training in the workplace. 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
(e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA's and NSC's Web sites) to
employers and employees in the general and construction industries.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or NSC's conferences, local meetings, or other events such
as the NSC Annual Congress & Exposition.
- Encourage NSC chapters to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and Area Offices to address
general and construction industry health and safety issues.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings, including
OSHA's Small Business Forums to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.
