Oregon OSHA and the West Coast Chapter (WCC) - International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC), recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safe workplaces in Oregon.
This alliance seeks to increase outreach efforts to affected employers and employees in this industry. The primary goals are to increase awareness surrounding drilled shaft and foundation drilling operations, and the installation of micropiles and earth retention systems, and ultimately, to reduce illness and injury rates among employers and employees in construction and demolition industries.
In addition, this alliance will contribute to the statewide dialogue on workplace safety and health.
