Ensuring Safety and Health for all Women in Construction

Wilmington, Del - OSHA has combined forces with the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Chapter 96 to launch an alliance program to ensure safety and health for all women in construction.

The alliance will provide a local chapter to ensure current information; guidance and training resources are available to both the employees and employers. "This alliance aims to elevate awareness of safety and health hazards, particularly as these relate to construction site work activities," said Domenick Salvatore, director of OSHA's Wilmington Area Office.

This program not only focuses on the safety for women in construction but will also promote construction safety and health to the Annual Block Kids Program. OSHA has ongoing efforts to ensure that employers maintain the health and safety of their employees. With over 470 alliances nationwide OSHA is continuing their efforts.
