AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR – OSHA REGION V
COLUMBUS AREA OFFICE
AND
OHIO BUREAU OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION,
OSHA ON-SITE CONSULTATION,
CBS PERSONNEL HOLDINGS, INC.,
AND
OHIO STAFFING AND SEARCH ASSOCIATION |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), The State of Ohio
Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC), Division of Safety and Hygiene, OSHA On-site Consultation,
CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc. (CBS), and Ohio Staffing and Search Association (OSSA) recognize the
value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American
workplaces. OSHA, BWC, On-site Consultation, CBS and OSSA hereby form an Alliance to provide
temporary staffing and employee leasing companies with information, guidance, and access to training
resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, particularly in reducing and
preventing deaths and serious injuries from falls, electrical, struck-by, caught-in, and other
hazards related to manufacturing and construction work performed by temporary workers.
OSHA, BWC, On-site Consultation, CBS and OSSA will work together to achieve the following training
and education goal:
- Work together to provide expertise to develop safety and health training and education programs
for temporary employee and employee leasing companies for their employees working in both
manufacturing and construction industries, and to provide expertise in communicating such
information to employers and employees in the industry.
OSHA, BWC, On-site Consultation, CBS and OSSA will work together to achieve the
following outreach and communication goals:
- Work together to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of
workplace hazards for temporary employees, and to provide expertise in developing ways of
communicating such information to temporary employers and employees in manufacturing and
construction industries (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA's,
BWC's, On-site Consultation's, CBS's and OSSA's websites).
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding best
practices and success stories, and publicize results through developed materials, training programs,
workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other appropriate forum or medium).
- Promote and encourage temporary employee and employee leasing industries' participation in OSHA's
cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Programs, Consultation,
and its Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.
- Encourage temporary employee and employee leasing companies to build relationships with OSHA's
Regional and Ohio Area Offices, as well as the Ohio BWC and On-site Consultation to address health
and safety issues.
OSHA, BWC, On-site Consultation, CBS and OSSA will work together to achieve the
following goals related to promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Raise industry awareness of and demonstrate OSHA's, BWC's, On-site Consultation's, CBS's and
OSSA's commitment to temporary employee workplace safety and health whenever OSHA's, BWC's, On-site
Consultation's, CBS's and OSSA's leaders address groups.
- Develop and disseminate temporary employee success stories illustrating the purpose and business
value of a company's commitment to employee safety and health.
- Convene or participate in forums, round-table discussions, or industry meetings on temporary
employee safety issues to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input and
guidance on temporary employee 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 services; nor does the Agency enter
into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party's products or services.
Additionally, by entering into an Alliance with a party, BWC is not endorsing any of that party's
products or services; nor does BWC enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular
party's products or services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of all 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.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Any signatory may withdraw from 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.
