WASHINGTON – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) renewed its Alliance with the Airline Ground Safety Panel to address hazards and worker injuries related to operating aviation ground support equipment.
The Airline Ground Safety Panel is a joint industry and labor partnership that consists of 11 airline companies and three unions that employ and represent 350,000 workers, which accounts for about 85 percent of the industry.
"Our continued Alliance with the Airline Ground Safety Panel will focus on preventing worker injuries caused by slips, trips and falls and being struck by objects," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health David Michaels. "We look forward to working with the panel to educate and train employers and workers on preventing workplace injuries."
