This Alliance has been focusing on safety and health training for its members. To that end the
members of the Lehigh Valley Area Labor Management Council have agreed to work in partnership with
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 375 in sponsoring a full day free
Safety Expo. This past year, most of the efforts of this Alliance had been focused on having a
successful full day safety Expo, with many safety and health vendors/exhibitors and seminars
throughout the day and evening. Based on sponsors and vendors this event was at no cost to any of
the attendees.
V. Milestones
Based on the success of this Safety Expo, this event may become an annual activity of this Alliance
or at the very least every two years.
It is strongly recommended that this Alliance continue.
