Through the Alliance, OSHA and SIA will work together to provide SIA's
members, and others in the construction industry, with information, guidance, and access to training
resources that will focus on reducing safety and health hazards associated with the use of mast
climbing scaffolding and aerial lift equipment. In particular, the Alliance will address reducing
and preventing exposure to fall and caught-in-between hazards. The Alliance goals include:
Training and education:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop training and education programs for the
construction industry regarding mast climbing scaffolding and aerial lift issues and to provide
expertise in communicating such information to employers and employees in the construction
industry.
Outreach and communication:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention
of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such
information (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA's and the SIA's Web sites) to employers and employees in the construction industry.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or SIA conferences, local meetings, or other events such as
SIA's 36th Annual Convention & Exposition.
- Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects on mast climbing
scaffolding and aerial lift issues that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
