Scaffold Industry Association & OSHA Alliance

 

In February 2008, the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced their alliance to provide SIA's members, and others in the construction industry, with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will focus on reducing safety and health hazards associated with the use of mast climbing scaffolding and aerial lift equipment. In particular, the Alliance will address reducing and preventing exposure to fall and caught-in-between hazards.
