OSHA Alliances
- American Biological Safety Association
(ABSA). OSHA (2002, September 23), 2 pages. The
ABSA Alliance focuses primarily on biological safety in the workplace, emerging
biological safety issues, and potential methods to address those
issues. This Safety and Health Topic Page is maintained as a product of the
alliance
between OSHA and ABSA; it is
also sponsored in part by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

eTools
-
e-Hasp Expert
System. OSHA (2003, September). The
electronic, interactive e-HASP Guide is intended to be used by health and
safety professionals to provide "model" language that is acceptable to
OSHA in preparing a site's HASP. These same professionals can also draw
on the chemical database and embedded decision logic to assist them in
identifying the hazards associated with site-specific contaminants and in
choosing effective site controls for worker protection.
-
Incident
Command System/Unified Command (ICS/UC) eTool. OSHA (2003,
November). An Incident Command System/Unified Command (ICS/UC) is
an efficient on-site tool to manage all emergency response
incidents, and UC is a necessary tool for managing
multi-jurisdictional responses to oil spills or hazardous
substance releases.
