The U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA and Mascaro Construction Co. have entered a strategic partnership to manage worker safety during the expansion of the Heinz History Center.
The agreement, signed by OSHA’s Pittsburgh Area Office, focuses on preventing work-related injuries and eliminating serious workplace hazards. The initiative will help contractors develop safety management systems and provide specialized training for subcontractors to recognize site-specific dangers.
According to the partnership goals, the groups will emphasize leadership accountability, worker participation and rigorous hazard identification protocols.
The project involves a 92,000-square-foot expansion of the museum campus. The new wing will feature a 150-seat theater, smart classrooms, a cafe and new exhibition spaces dedicated to Pittsburgh history.
Construction is expected to be completed by May 2028.
The OSHA Strategic Partnership Program coordinates with employers, labor organizations and stakeholders to set performance measures that improve overall workplace health and safety.
