The American Society of Safety Professionals and the American National Standards Institute have revised a safety and health standard for multi-employer projects in construction and demolition, the Park Ridge, Illinois-based ASSP announced Wednesday.
ANSI/ASSP A10.33-2020 identifies key elements an organization should use to create and manage a safety program in a shared construction project, and requires engagement across the entire project — from project owners and construction supervisors to contractors and equipment manufacturers — in the identified safety process.
The voluntary ANSI/ASSP national consensus standards are intended to promote safety best practices and prevent worker injuries and illnesses.
Bala Siva Srikanth Adivi, an occupational health, safety and environment expert at the Kuwait Oil Co. and 12-year member of the American Society of Safety Professionals, was named ASSP’s 2020 Safety Professional of the Year, the organization announced Wednesday.
