OSHA forms partnership to protect employees during construction of new Pittsburgh arena

Employees involved in the construction of the new Pittsburgh Penguins arena will be safer thanks to a new partnership formed between the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and P.J. Dick/Hunt JV. OSHA and P.J. Dick/Hunt JV formalized the partnership at a ceremony today.

"The safety and health of construction employees is of paramount importance to this agency, and one which we take very seriously," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Edwin G. Foulke Jr. "Our partnership with P.J. Dick/Hunt JV strengthens our goal of protecting the men and women working on this project from the hazards common in this industry."

The new ice hockey and multipurpose arena will be located between Centre Avenue, Washington Place and Fifth Avenue, next to downtown Pittsburgh, and will serve as home to the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team. The facility will seat approximately 18,500 people, with the project estimated to cost approximately $290 million.

"At P.J. Dick-Hunt, we believe a project is not completed successfully unless it's completed safely," said P.J. Dick Vice President of Safety Joe Franceschini. "Our partnership with OSHA will help us to deliver a safe project."
