OSHA and the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC), a trade association of merit shop electrical and systems contractors, have agreed to extend their alliance in order to continue providing opportunities for advancing workplace safety and health in the electrical industry.
The two-year renewal calls for continuing to provide IEC members and others with information and guidance on worker safety and health matters, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to falls, rear-end auto collisions and material handling hazards. The pact also outlines specific communications goals, including the publishing of articles and features on both organizations' Web sites that focus on ergonomics, falls and OSHA's cooperative programs.
