OSHA formed an alliance Thursday with the American Red Cross that is aimed at increasing emergency preparedness and disease prevention education and expanding first-aid information for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and youth workers.
OSHA and the ARC will help prepare employers and employees to respond to disasters, life-threatening injuries and emergencies. The organizations will also provide information, guidance and access to training resources on safety and health topics such as emergency preparedness, disease prevention and first-aid in the workplace.
