The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP) today formed an alliance to provide information and training on preventing worker exposure to safety and health hazards in the maintenance, reliability, and physical asset management profession.
During the two-year agreement, the alliance will incorporate safety and health information into SMRP’s certification training programs to reduce and prevent exposure to worker hazards including slips, trips, falls, and electric shock. SMRP will also work with OSHA to engage safety and health professionals and their employers in agency outreach initiatives, such as the Safe + Sound Campaign, and the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction.
