The Douglas County Fire Department joins with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Georgia Utility Contractors Association, Inc. (GUCA), the Georgia Hispanic Contractors Association (GHCA), Georgia Institute of Technology –Safety, Health, and Environmental Technology Division (Georgia Tech) and the 1Metro Area Fire Departments (hereafter referred to as the S.A.F.E. Alliance) in recognizing the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to advance safety and more healthful American workplaces. The Douglas County Fire Department therefore agrees to join the S.A.F.E. Alliance to use their collective expertise to help protect employees’ health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to trenching and excavation hazards. The Douglas County Fire Department agrees to all of the provisions of the original Alliance signed by OSHA, GUCA, GHCA, Georgia Tech and the Metro Area Fire Departments on September 14, 2004. In amending this agreement this agreement all participants recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort. 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.
