Osha And Contractor Team Up For Safer Site Construction

摘要

A safety partnership between two OSHA area offices and a general contractor seeks to eliminate injuries and accidents during construction of a new Armed Forces Reserve Center in Ayer, Massachusetts.rnThe agreement involves OSHA's Methuen and Springfield offices and J&J Contractors Inc. The project involves construction of six buildings and a 5,900-square-foot parking area. It is scheduled for completion in early 2012. "Our goal here," said OSHA Springfield Area Director Mary Hoye, "is a systematic and effective approach to safety and health throughout the life of the project." As is typical of such partnerships, the participants commit to safety measures that go beyond OSHA regulations.
