Through the Alliance, OSHA and ILMA will encourage employers, including small
businesses, to increase employee access to safety and health information and training resources,
particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to industrial hazards in the manufacturing
environment. In addition, the OSHA and ILMA Alliance will address hazard communication and safety
and health issues related to above ground storage tanks. 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 ILMA's
Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding
ILMA's best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by ILMA and
through OSHA- or ILMA-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars and lectures (or
any other applicable forum).
- Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects on manufacturing
industrial hazards that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace health and safety:
- Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions or stakeholder meetings on
manufacturing industrial hazards and hazard communication to help forge innovative solutions in
the workplace.
