IV. Results
This alliance formalizes the agreement between OSHA and the Safety Fest partners to continue the
Safety Fest of the West program annually. Safety Fest's mission is to provide low-cost training to
construction industry workers. Currently the program is designed so that participants leave with a
universally recognized OSHA 10-hour card. Advanced level training is also offered to supervisors who
have already completed the 10 hour training. The focus areas include: trenching and excavation, fall
hazards and scaffolding, electrical safety and safety leadership.
