BALTIMORE, MD – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Turner Construction Co. have signed a strategic partnership to promote workplace safety during construction of the Center for Cyber Security Studies at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.

The partnership seeks to reduce injuries, illnesses, and exposures to hazards through increased safety and health training, effective health monitoring, and implementation of safety and health programs by employers on the project.

Turner Construction is an international construction services company and builder.
