IV. Results
A. Discuss the impact of the Alliance activities and products during the reporting period.
A positive interaction between RCC Trainer Andy Perry and CAS Peggy Zweber occurred with assistance
both to the college and to OSHA staff.
OSHA Update power point training for the OTI classes has become a staple at RCC.
The Z Project (Best Practice/Hazard Control Customer Service Program) has fostered employers sharing
information in a positive open atmosphere. Several of the employers who met at the conference have
mentored employers they met in developing their VPP programs.
