OSHA, U.S. Forest Service sign alliance to promote workplace safety and health in Pacific Northwest
OSHA's Regional Office in Seattle and the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region have signed an alliance to share information, guidance and access to safety and health resources related to the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers. The alliance's goal is to help improve the safety in the workplace by enhancing USFS' safety training programs for supervisors, safety committee members and safety personnel. The training curriculum will enhance field and firefighter hazard recognition, and develop personnel protective equipment selection expertise for both OSHA and Forest Service employees.
