正文(英文) | ![]() As of September 27, OSHA signed an alliance with the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) and Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA). The goal? To better protect workers in the waste industry. OSHA latest national alliance is with the national waste and recycling associations for the betterment of both worker safety and the environment. The Alliance between OSHA, NWRA, and SWANA will provide NWRA and SWANA members and the public with important information, guidance, and access to resources that will help them protect workers in the solid waste industry.
The Alliance will address a few specific areas such as transportation hazards like backovers and distracted driving; slips, trips, and falls; needlestick injuries; heat and cold stress; musculoskeletal injuries; and other topics. Specific emphasis will be on outreach to small- and medium-sized employers to help them understand the responsibilities of employers under the OSHA Safety and Health Act.
How do the groups intend to deliver this important safety and health information? The answer: through the outreach and communication methods listed below.
The designated team for implementation of the Alliance’s goals will meet one to two times per year to discuss the responsibilities of the participants, share information on activities, and track results in achieving such goas. OSHA team members will include representatives of the Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs, the Directorate of Enforcement Programs, and any other appropriate offices.
The agreement will remain in effect for two years. For more information on the official announcement of the Alliance, read OSHA’s article. |
