The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150
Apprenticeship and Skill Improvement Program and OSHA have renewed an alliance
to protect and educate workers on construction and excavation hazards. The
alliance will focus on training employers and workers about crane operations,
earthmoving, trenching and excavations and hazardous waste sites.
"We are proud to renew this alliance focused on
education and training for apprentices and workers in these dangerous
trades," said Kathy Webb, OSHA's area director in Calumet City, Ill.
"When workers are involved from day one in the training process, it
creates a work culture in which safety is paramount, and that prevents injuries
and illness and saves lives."
