The Lehigh Valley Safety Committee was elevated to “ambassador” status by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. LVSC was recognized for the consortium’s success in building and maintaining a productive cooperative relationship with the agency.

As an Alliance Program Ambassador, the LVSC will continue to share relevant health and safety information with its membership and facilitate understanding of workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

The OSHA Alliance Program fosters collaborative relationships with groups committed to worker safety and health. Alliance partners help OSHA reach targeted audiences, such as employers and workers in high-hazard industries, giving them better access to workplace safety and health tools and information. OSHA’s Allentown office and the LVSC signed an alliance agreement to promote workplace safety and health in 2005.
