Speaker Notes:
OSHA has a long history of working with the public to promote safety and health
in the workplace by offering compliance assistance services and programs to
businesses and organizations. This assistance helps them in working with the
Agency, and complying with the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970.
OSHA’s
cooperative programs have been very successful and include the Consultation
Program and its Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), the
Strategic Partnership Program, and the Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP).
As OSHA developed its first Compliance Assistance Plan in early 2002, the
Agency realized there were opportunities to reach a broader audience than the
existing cooperative programs were reaching, leading to the development of the
Agency’s newest cooperative program, the
Alliance Program, in March 2002.
