October 19, 2007—The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Construction Safety Executives (NCSE) have formed a new alliance to provide employees in the construction industry with information, guidance, and access to training resources to protect and encourage employee safety and health.
The OSHA and NCSE alliance will focus on falls, electrical, struck-by, and caught in-between hazards. The two partners will develop information to identify and prevent workplace hazards and effective tools to convey that information through outreach materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures.
NCSE is comprised of 30 companies in the US, and employs over 250,000 employees who perform in excess of 500 million hours of construction-related work each year. Founded in 1986, NCSE is a professional organization that provides construction industry professionals with a forum to exchange and discuss safety and health information.
