AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WILMINGTON AREA OFFICE AND DELAWARE SAFETY COUNCIL, INC.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. hereby form an Alliance to provide Delaware Safety Council members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees’ health and safety, particularly in developing defensive driving and forklift safety courses for corporate fleet operations and businesses throughout their service area. OSHA and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort. OSHA and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. will work together to achieve the following training and education goals: Deliver training and education programs on traffic safety and defensive driving specifically targeted to business and corporate fleet operations. Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop and provide workplace safety and health curricula on safe operation of material handling equipment. OSHA and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals: Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA’s and the Delaware Safety Council’s Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry. Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s or Delaware Safety Council conferences, local meetings, or other events. Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding best practices in fleet operations and material handling and publicize results through outreach by OSHA and the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. and through OSHA or Delaware Safety Council developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures. Encourage Delaware Safety Council members to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety 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 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 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 three times per year 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. Either OSHA or the Delaware Safety Council, Inc. 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 both signatories.   Jonathan L. Snare Acting Assistant Secretary Occupational Safety and Health Administration   Date   Frances M.
