OSHA forms alliance with material handling industry
OSHA formed an alliance Wednesday with the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA), Hoist Manufacturers Institute (HMI) and Monorail Manufacturers Association (MMA). The goal of the alliance is to prevent amputations and exposure to ergonomic-related hazards in the material handling industry.
"Together we can focus our efforts and resources on identifying and implementing the best industry practices to improve worker protections and help keep crane, hoist and monorail operators safe and healthy," said acting OSHA chief Jonathan L. Snare.
