OSHA recently signed a strategic partnership with Harvey Construction Corp. to promote worker safety and health during construction of the Mark Stebbins Community Center in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The partnership with the Bedford-based commercial construction company seeks to prevent worker injuries and exposure to hazards by developing a contractor-government approach to safety and health.
The initiative will also assist contractors in developing and implementing safety and health management systems and providing training to employees, employers, and supervisors.
Participants will focus on identifying and preventing common hazards on large-scale construction projects, such as falls and being struck by or caught in materials or equipment.
The Mark Stebbins Community Center project consists of the construction of the Community Center for Boys and Girls Club of Manchester with a multipurpose gym, along with the Amoskeag Health Medical Clinic that will offer outpatient services in Manchester.
OSHA's Strategic Partnership Program works with employers, employees, professional and trade associations, labor organizations and other interested stakeholders to establish specific goals, strategies, and performance measures to improve worker safety and health.
