Industry Activities

The OSHA Alliance Program fosters collaborative relationships with groups committed to worker safety and health. Alliance partners help OSHA reach targeted audiences, such as employers and workers in high-hazard industries, and give them better access to workplace safety and health tools and information.

• The Construction Safety Roundtable of Eastern Massachusetts  renewed a five-year agreement  with OSHA's offices in Braintree and Andover, Mass., to encourage a dialogue between OSHA and local industry. Members will share safe work practices, provide updates on OSHA procedures and policies, promote involvement in OSHA safety stand-downs, and create safety and health communication tools. Since 2000, the Alliance delivered the OSHA 10-hour Construction Outreach Training Program to more than 10,000 vocational high school students throughout Massachusetts.
• The Mid Continent Exploration and Production Safety Network and the Francis Tuttle Technology Center  renewed a three-year agreement  with OSHA's Oklahoma City office to provide information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help protect the health and safety of workers in the oil and gas industry.
• The Robotic Industries Association and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  signed a two-year agreement  to improve awareness of occupational hazards from traditional industrial robots and emerging robot technologies. The Alliance will also develop educational resources, such as fact sheets and a website, on robotics system safety practices and safety and health programs.
• OSHA offices in Illinois, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas signed two-year Alliances with foreign consulates in several cities to provide workers with information, guidance, and access to education and training resources related to occupational safety and health.
