Recently, the program oversaw an alliance among three parties: The U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA, the Pennsylvania OSHA Consultation Program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. The goal of the alliance is to provide workers with the means to stay safe and healthy through information, guidance, and training resources.
