ASSP and USACE Sign Agreement to Advance Worker Safety

The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday during the first day of the Safety 2024 Professional Development Conference and Exposition at the Colorado Convention Center.

The 10-year agreement defines shared principles and aims to improve employee safety training, advance occupational health practices and expand the use of safety and health management systems.

The two organizations will engage in sharing best practices, improving training and education, and supporting regulatory and legislative issues. They will also continue to collaborate on developing voluntary national consensus standards. USACE’s well-known and widely used EM-385 OSH manual references many ANSI/ASSP standards on fall protection, construction and demolition practices, among others.
