"We are a group of Safety and Health Professionals focused on reducing incidents & the costs associated with them." 
On 6/10/2010, OSHA and the Department of Homeland Security teamed up to establish safety procedures during the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The two agencies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will further joint efforts to monitor compliance with safety standards and to protect workers involved in the response to the oil spill.
The MOU solidifies the close working relationship between the Coast Guard and OSHA, and establishes a specific mechanism for coordination between the Deepwater Horizon FOSC and OSHA. OSHA and Homeland Security recognize the importance of close cooperation among all agencies that have responsibilities during the oil cleanup efforts.
