KSC Renews Alliance with OSHA

KSC has announced its mutual agreement to renew an Alliance between the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor Region 1, and Keene State College OSHA Training Institute Education Center March 29, 2011 at Keene State.

The Alliance validates the work of Keene State’s OSHA Training Institute Education Center with regional OSHA entities including OSHA’s State Plan, On-site Consultation Project partners, and OSHA’s cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, Voluntary Protection Program, SHARP (Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program for smaller, high hazard employers) — all as part of the OSHA national effort.

As a result of these programs, businesses and their employees throughout New England benefit by reducing workplace hazards, processes, related human and financial costs associated with workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities. KSC OTIEC is one of 25 OSHA Education Centers throughout the United States.
