Oregon OSHA and the West Coast Chapter (WCC) of the International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC) want to work together to create safer workplaces in Oregon.
This partnership will help reach out to employers and workers in the foundation drilling industry. The main goals are to raise awareness about drilling operations and the installation of micropiles and earth retention systems. In the end, they want to lower the number of illnesses and injuries among workers in construction and demolition.
This alliance will also support discussions about workplace safety and health across the state.
