Working Hand-in-Hand with OSHA
OSHA’s Alliance Program provides organizations the opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA’s initiatives, outreach, communication, training, and education.
We joined OSHA’s Alliance Program provide ISEA members and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers. Specifically, the organizations address best practices in industry sectors that use personal protective and other safety equipment.
Through the Alliance, OSHA and ISEA focus on:
- developing content and training resources on the proper selection, use and maintenance of PPE
- sharing information on national consensus standards for personal protective and other safety equipment
ISEA and OSHA renewed their Alliance in 2021 for a period of five years.
