The DPC of Texas and OSHA Region 6 Districts have entered into an official Alliance. “The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston North, Houston South, Lubbock and San Antonio Area Offices and Damage Prevention Council of Texas recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces.
