AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ALBANY, AVENEL, BUFFALO, BAYSIDE, SYRACUSE, TARRYTOWN MANHATTAN AREA OFFICES AND LOVELL SAFETY MANAGEMENT CO., LLC
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Lovell Safety Management Co., LLC (LSM) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and LSM hereby form an Alliance to provide New York State employers, especially small business with information, guidance and access to resources that will help them protect employees’ health and safety health through the development of Safety and Health management programs. OSHA and LSM will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals: Develop and promote accessible and easy-to-use tools to encourage and help small business owners create and implement effective safety and health management programs in the workplace. Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including electronic tools and links from OSHA’s and LSM’s Websites. Speak, exhibit and appear at LSM’s conferences, local meetings and other events such as the Building Industry Exchange and the North East Retail Lumberman’s Association employer information seminars. Promote and encourage small business participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Program, Consultation and the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program. Share information on best practices as jointly determined by OSHA and LSM of small business worksites with others in the industry and publicize the results through outreach by LSM and through OSHA or LSM developed training programs and materials. Encourage small business to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues. OSHA and LSM will work together to achieve the following goals related to promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health: Raise others’ awareness of and demonstrate their own commitment to workplace safety and health whenever LSM leaders address groups. Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings such as the Compensation Insurance Council Expo on issues such as small business safety & health management programs to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues. 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 service 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 both organizations 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 quarterly to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will encourage State Plan States and OSHA Consultation Projects' participation on the team. This agreement will remain in effect for 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.   DATE _______________________   Patricia K.
