Description:
The Government Relations Committee consists of three working groups, each with a group leader and members that focus on SMRP’s three priorities, Workplace Safety, Workforce Development and Cybersecurity & Critical Infrastructure. The working groups are led by SMRP Government Relations staff. Each Working Group has a Chair who reports to the Government Relations Committee Chair.
Workplace Safety
The Government Relations Committee was formed to facilitate outreach and relationship building with key policymakers on Capitol Hill and in the regulatory agencies to discuss SMRP’s public policy priorities. The Working Groups also help influence policy by positioning SMRP as a thought leader in government.
SMRP believes that maintaining a safe workplace is a vital and fundamental responsibility of all employers in the United States and recognizes that a safer workplace is a more reliable workplace. SMRP has formed an official alliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to provide safety information, guidance and access to training for maintenance, reliability and physical asset management professionals.
The SMRP Government Relations team is currently looking for volunteers to join the Workplace Safety Working Group Committee.
