June 3, 2005—The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently formed an alliance with the American Red Cross that focuses on increasing emergency preparedness and disease prevention education and expanding first aid information for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and youth workers.
OSHA and the American Red Cross will help prepare employers and employees, including the American Red Cross employees, to respond to disasters, life-threatening injuries, and emergencies. In addition, the organizations will provide information, guidance, and access to training resources on safety and health topics including emergency preparedness, disease prevention, and first aid in the workplace.
