OSHA and Altec will provide information and guidance and access to training
resources that will help protect employees’ health and safety, including non-English or limited
English speaking workers. The Alliance will address safe operation of cranes, digger derricks, and
insulated and non-insulated aerial devices, including tree care devices and focus on industry
hazards such as falls and electrocutions. The Alliance’s goals include:
Training and education:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop training and education programs in English and
Spanish, on the safe operation and proper use of cranes, digger derricks, and insulated,
non-insulated and aerial devices, including tree care devices.
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, including electronic assistance tools and OSHA’s and Altec’s Web
sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding
Altec’s best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by Altec and
through OSHA or Altec 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, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings to address
safety and health issues such as the safe use of cranes, digger derricks and aerial devices and
hazards such as falls and electrocutions to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to
provide input on safety and health issues.
