默克公司位于弗吉尼亚州埃尔克顿的石墙工厂的739名工人拥有一个更安全、更健康的工作场所，因为其中4名工人对他们在俄亥俄州辛辛那提市工会培训中心接受的健康和安全培训充满热情。结果发现，不仅所有739名工厂员工都接受了OSHA 10小时的一般工业培训，而且这些培训是由在工厂工作的“OSHA授权”的国际化学工人联盟理事会成员提供的。默克公司在其学习和发展部门设立了一个新的全职职位，并雇用了四名接受过初步培训的员工中的一名。强有力的工厂领导在培训期间、评估中以及培训后新活跃的劳资联合会议中都促进了讨论。这些讨论确定了需要注意的安全和健康问题。然后，在一种新的信任和合作的精神下，发生了重大的改进。
Seven hundred thirty-nine workers at Merck's Stonewall plant in Elkton, Virginia, have a safer and healthier workplace because four of them were enthusiastic about health and safety training they received from the union's training center in Cincinnati, Ohio. What emerged was not only that all 739 plant employees received OSHA 10-hour General Industry training, but that it was delivered by “OSHA-authorized” members of the International Chemical Workers Union Council who worked at the plant. Merck created a new fulltime position in its Learning and Development Department and hired one of the four workers who had received the initial training. Strong plant leadership promoted discussions both during the training, in evaluation, and in newly energized joint labor-management meetings following the training. These discussions identified safety and health issues needing attention. Then, in a new spirit of trust and collaboration, major improvements occurred.
