2008:
- OSHA and WisCon will work with the Nanotechnology program as they do
with the UW- Madison Nanotechnology group to develop more networking
between the groups.
- The materials presented at this session could be developed into an
Alliance Product to be shared.
- OSHA will work more closely with the CVTC staff members to implement
safe work practices into the curriculum for areas such as residential
construction and health care services.
- OSHA and CVTC will develop a day-long Fall Rescue Course – Aerial Lift
Course.
- CVTC will provide OSHA assistance in Powered Industrial Vehicle / Dock
