In addition, the OSHA representatives found the safety and health curricula information at member union training centers to be valuable in cross-training compliance personnel. The training and outreach communication information directly affected 81 members. Indirectly, the information exchanged would affect the entire membership of the Pittsburgh Building and Construction Trades Council, that being approximately 20,000 members. V.
