Through the Alliance, OSHA and AFSA will work together to provide AFSA's members
and others in the fire sprinkler installation industry with information,
guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect
employees’ health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure
to material handling and fall hazards and addressing motor vehicle safety
issues. The Alliance goals include:
Training and Education:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop training and education
programs for fire sprinkler installers regarding material handling, fall and
motor vehicle safety issues 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 to employers and employees in the fire sprinkler installation
industry.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or AFSA's conferences, local meetings,
or other events, including the AFSA Convention and Exhibition.
- Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects on
safety and health issues, including those related to fire sprinkler
installation, that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
- Encourage AFSA local boards to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and
Area Offices to address health and safety issues, including fall protection and
materials handling.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder
meetings on workplace hazards, including those associated with fire sprinkler
installation, to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide
input on safety and health issues.
