    OSHA and Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association Renew Alliance - ForConstructionPros.com
    'The construction industry has among the highest rates for injuries, illnesses and fatalities,' said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Edwin G. Foulke, Jr. 'Our renewed Alliance with CSDA will expand upon our efforts to produce products designed to increase safety awareness and recognition of job hazards, particularly for sawing and drilling contractors.'

    The Alliance will also address issues such as electrical safety; hearing protection; ladder and scaffold safety; highway work zone hazards; motor vehicle safety; and respiratory protection for hazards associated with silica.
