OSHA’s Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary
cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and
communication and promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have
proved to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an
Alliance with a party, OSHA is not endorsing any of that party’s products or services; nor does the
Agency enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party’s products or
services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of each signatory organization will meet to
develop a plan of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities
of the participants. In addition, they will meet at least three times per year to track and share
information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. At least one of these
meetings will be in person.
This agreement will remain in effect two years. Any signatory may terminate it for any reason at any
time, provided they give 30 days written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with the
concurrence of all signatories.
Signed this 11th day of April, 2005
