With the goal of working together to provide expertise in developing information on prevention and recognition of workplace hazards and ways of communicating this information to employers and employees, the American Society of Safety Engineers' Greater Baton Rouge Chapter and OSHA's Baton Rouge Area Office recently formed a formal alliance.The alliance came about following a number of on-the-job deaths the OSHA Baton Rouge Area office investigated within the past three years involving specific hazards. As such, the new alliance will target these hazards, which include falls, combustible dusts, trenching/excavation, 'struck-by' object hazards associated with local petrochemical and construction industries, and more. The alliance aims to provide OSH&E professionals access to additional training resources as they work to enhance employees' safety and health. These training and education goals include working together to develop training and education programs for general and construction industries regarding the specific hazards and communicating that information to employers and employees in those industries.
