- Activities and Products
Evaluation Period
This evaluation covers the period from November 19, 2010 to July 12, 2011.
Alliance Activity
Due to a change in leadership at the Wisconsin Safety Council many of its conferences and training programs were suspended in the reporting period. The result is that while the three signatories maintain a strong working relationship, the OSHA offices experienced a dramatic decline in their WSC-associated outreach for FY 11. We have met with the director and made a commitment to maintain the same levels of activity that we had before the change in FY 2012 and are already making plans to do so.
Wisconsin Safety Council Annual Conference - May 16, 17 and 18, 2011 - All five compliance assistance specialists manned the booth at the conference and various OSHA staffers gave presentations on a variety of safety and health/OSHA policy and procedure topics.
