St. Louis - The St. Louis OSHA office has implemented a special program in Missouri. The emphasis is on reducing hazards in the workplace on construction projects that have been funded by the Recovery Act of 2009. This group's focus will be on ensuring safety of all involved.
"The hazards associated with the construction industry are well recognized, especially on large projects involving highways, bridges, new building construction, and existing building renovation and demolition operations," said Charles E. Adkins, OSHA's regional administrator in Kansas City, Mo. "OSHA's St. Louis Area Office will devote resources to outreach and enforcement activities for employers of Recovery Act-funded sites in its jurisdiction to help ensure worksites are safe and healthful."

The focus of this program will be on all job sites that have been implemented due to the Recovery Act. Due to the transitional nature of the construction industry all employers and therefore employees will be held to the standards of OSHA and will be inspected on a regular basis.
