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 proven to be
valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a

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,
Francis Tuttle Technology Center, the Oklahoma Division of Labor/Consultation and Independent
