MCAA/OSHA Health and Safety Alliance Moves Forward

By Marian J. Marshall

On another OSHA issue ? MCAA?s Health and Safety Alliance ? everyone should be aware that the Solicitor?s Office at the Department of Labor has approved our Alliance and that there are only a couple of more hoops to jump through before a final signing ceremony is scheduled with MCAA President Bill McConnell and Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA John Henshaw.

Once in place, the Alliance will enable MCAA members to benefit from a collaborative relationship with OSHA to formulate the most up to date and innovative training and safety methods for wall bracing, scaffolding, fall protection and forklift safety.
