| Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) |
|
The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is to save lives, prevent injuries and protect the health of America's workers. To accomplish this, federal and state governments must work in partnership with the more than 100 million working men and women and their six and a half million employers who are covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
Nearly every working man and woman in the nation comes under OSHA's jurisdiction (with some exceptions such as miners, transpor-
tation workers, many public employees, and the self-employed). Other users and recipients of OSHA services include: occupational safety and health professionals, the academic community, lawyers, journalists, and personnel of other government entities.
Riding the Line Instruction
The long-awaited and much-anticipated OSHA directive regarding personnel hoisting procedures for the tower industry was issued in March of 2002. Without the never-ending and tireless work from a very dedicated group of NATE member companies, NATE would never have reached this milestone in the association's history. This directive gives specific relief for tower access, and perhaps even more important, proves that NATE can work with OSHA.

NATE also has a Personnel Hoisting video, in VHS or DVD format, which is available to NATE members for $20.00
Multi-Employer Worksite Policy
On multi-employer worksites (in all industry sectors), more than one employer may be citable for hazardous conditions that violate OSHA standards.
