The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Department, and the New Jersey State Industry Safety Committee have entered into an alliance to raise awareness of the value of workplace safety and health programs for New Jersey businesses.

During the two-year alliance, the agencies will provide New Jersey employers with resources to improve their workplace safety and health practices; establish an OSHA Challenge Program to guide employers through the planning, development and implementation of an effective safety and health program; and recognize workplaces for outstanding performance in preventing workplace injuries and illnesses.
