Newest OSHA alliance to benefit workers in forest & paper industries
OSHA Thursday formed an alliance with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and the Pulp and Paper Safety Association (PPSA). The new pact will further promote worker safety and health in the forest- and paper-related industries, with a focus on preventing exposure to ergonomic-related hazards.
“Our association is very pleased to join with OSHA and PPSA on this important venture,†said Sharon Kneiss, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at AF&PA. “We support efforts to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace.â€
