OSHA Partners with
Packers and Miron Construction for Lambeau Field Stadium Improvement Project
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Wisconsin Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Program have partnered with
the Green Bay Packers and Miron Construction Co., Inc. to zero in on an ongoing
safety issue: to prevent serious injuries at the Lambeau Field Stadium
Improvement Project in Green Bay.
Most employers today already require OSHA courses, such as OSHA 30 and 10 hour training (both online OSHA training), as hiring requirements to reduce
worksite injuries, and strategic alliances like this go a long in enhancing
safe work environments and conditions.
"This voluntary strategic partnership is focused on
identifying and controlling safety hazards, improving safety and health
programs, promoting a cooperative relationship between labor and management,
and encouraging employee participation in achieving a safe and healthful workplace,"
said Frank Winingham, OSHA's area director in Appleton. He explained that the
partnership plans to achieve its goals via more training, better implementation
of best work practices, and of course adherence to OSHA standards.
The construction project, slated for completion in June
2013, involves some 1,200 tradespersons. The Wisconsin consultation program is
funded by OSHA but operated by the state of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin-based Miron
Construction Co., Inc. will implement a site-specific safety and health
program.
OSHACampus.com, an e-learning provider of 360training.com,
provides OSHA training online coursework—such as OSHA 10, OSHA 30, and other
OSHA classes—that constitutes essential training for keeping workers healthy
and safe at the worksite.
