The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Lehigh Career
& Technical Institute (LCTI) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to
foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and LCTI hereby form an Alliance to provide
LCTI students, staff members and others, including public and private volunteer members of the Occupational
Advisory Councils (OAC) with information, guidance, and access to training resources in order to help
protect the general health and safety of the LCTI campus and youth entering the workforce.
OSHA and LCTI will work together to achieve the following training and education goals:
- Develop training and education programs on safety and health issues, with specific emphasis on
youth entering the work force.
- Develop workplace safety and health curricula that are tailored for the many trades that LCTI
students are studying, including: food preparation, automotive and small engine repair, welding,
electrical, carpentry, masonry, cosmetology, and security.
OSHA and LCTI will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:
- Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including electronic
assistance tools and links from OSHA’s and LCTI’s Web sites.
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at LCTI conferences, local meetings, or other school events such as
Educator Academy’s and School-to-Career in-services.
- Deliver or arrange for the delivery of OSHA related presentations to address safety and health
issues and for youth entering the workforce.
- Share information on LCTI’s best practices, as jointly determined by OSHA and LCTI, with other
career and technical schools within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s educational system and
publicize the results through outreach by LCTI and through OSHA or LCTI developed training programs
and materials.
- Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects that are addressed and
developed through the Alliance.
- Encourage other career and technical Schools within Pennsylvania to build relationships with
OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues, within their respective
schools and for the safety education of today’s youth and tomorrow’s workers.
OSHA and LCTI 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 LCTI administrators and leaders address groups.
- Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings on youth
entering the workforce issues to help forge innovative training and information materials.
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 quarterly to track and share information on
activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years from the date of signing and will automatically
be renewed annually thereafter. This agreement may be modified at any time with the concurrence of
both signatories and may be terminated for any reason with 30 days written notice from either
signatory.
