Our thanks to the Forging Industry Association for providing the video. It’s great to be able to see forging in action, because you see the actual forged products less often. As the association’s FAQ explains, “They are normally component parts contained inside assembled items such a airplanes, automobiles, tractors, ships, oil drilling equipment, engines, missiles and all kinds of capital equipment - to name a few.” In fact, more than 18,000 forgings are contained in a 747 airplane.
Through the Alliance, OSHA and FIA will work together to provide FIA members and others in the Forging Industry , including small businesses and individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety. In particular, the Alliance will address issues associated with ergonomics and machine guarding that may be experienced by employees in the forging industry. The Alliance's goals include:
Outreach and communication:
* Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance - tools and OSHA's and FIA's Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
* Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or FIA's conferences, local meetings, or other events such as FIA's Fall and Annual Meeting of Members.
* Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects regarding ergonomics and machine guarding that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
* Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings on Forging Industry issues to help create innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.
