PHILADELPHIA -- A new alliance between the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Pennsylvania Association of Occupational Health Nurses aims to provide safety and health training for Pennsylvania occupational health professionals. The training will focus on OSHA standards, emergency preparedness, musculoskeletal disorders and workplace violence.
On June 7, 2007 PAAOHN successfully formed an alliance with OSHA. Kim Olszewski, PAAOHN Chapter Past President led the chapter's effort to make this happen. Juanita Kantner, PAAOHN Director, is the chapter's lead for spearheading the implementation efforts across the state.
