OSHA and the American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), Diisocyanates (DII) and Aliphatic Diisocyanates (ADI) Panels continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to improve safety and health practices and programs in American workplaces, and commit to continue their work together through an Alliance Program Ambassador relationship.
In recognition of this ongoing commitment, OSHA will continue to foster an active relationship with ACC by:
- Providing routine communications on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
- Sharing invitations to and offering opportunities to speak at OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Office, and the National Alliance Program Construction Roundtable and Forum.
- Engaging in information sharing and technical discussions, as appropriate, including completing special projects of mutual interest that align with agency priorities and as resources allow.
ACC will continue to foster an active relationship with OSHA by:
- Sharing information with members on OSHA’s National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach) and encouraging their participation in OSHA’s outreach initiatives and rulemaking processes.
- Sharing information with CPI, and DII and ADI Panels’ membership and their downstream user networks on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
- Encouraging CPI, and DII and ADI Panels’ membership and their downstream user networks to build relationships with OSHA’s National, Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues.
- Sharing information with OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding product stewardship guidance through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
- Offering OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at industry conferences (e.g. CPI Polyurethanes Technical Conference) and events.
Products and Resources
Alliance Program Participant Developed Products
- Personal Protective Equipment: General Recommendations for Automotive Refinishing Coating Applications. (PDF) Through the OSHA Alliance Program, the American Chemistry Council’s Aliphatic Diisocyanates Panel developed an infographic that provides personal protective equipment recommendations for the automotive refinish market.
- Medical Screening and Surveillance for Workers Potentially Exposed to Diisocyanates: A Guide for Workers. (PDF) Through the OSHA Alliance Program, the American Chemistry Council’s Aliphatic Diisocyanates Panel developed a guidance document as a resource for workers that specifically addresses potential adverse health effects due to diisocyanates exposure. The document also provides information on the role of medical screening and surveillance in preventing these effects.
- Medical Screening and Surveillance for Workers Potentially Exposed to Diisocyanates: A Guide for the Employer. (PDF) Through the OSHA Alliance Program, the American Chemistry Council’s Aliphatic Diisocyanates Panel developed a guidance document as a resource for workers that specifically addresses potential adverse health effects due to diisocyanates exposure.
