AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
LUBBOCK AREA OFFICE
AND
T & T STAFF MANAGEMENT, LP |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the T & T Staff
Management, LP recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more
healthful American workplaces. OSHA and the T & T Staff Management, LP hereby form an Alliance to
provide the T & T Staff Management, LP members and others with information, guidance, and access to
training resources that will help them protect employees’ health and safety, particularly in reducing
and preventing exposure to construction and general industry safety hazards (such as but not limited to
falls, electrical, struck-by, caught between). In developing this Alliance, OSHA and the T & T Staff
Management, LP recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral
part of the OSHA national effort.
OSHA and the T & T Staff Management, LP will work together to achieve the following training and
education goals:
- Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including electronic
assistance tools and links from OSHA’s and T & T’s website.
- Deliver or arrange for the delivery of construction courses, as well as courses that will benefit
employees working in general industry.
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop workplace safety and health curricula on
construction and general industry courses.
OSHA and T & T Staff Management, LP will work together to achieve the following
outreach and communication goals:
- Speak, exhibit, or appear at T & T Staff Management, LP conferences, local meetings, or other
events such as El Paso Roofers Association, El Paso Association of Builders, and Sub-contractors
Association of El Paso.
- Promote and encourage T & T members’ or worksites’ participation in OSHA’s cooperative programs,
such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Program, Consultation, and the Safety and
Health Achievement Recognition Program. T & T will mentor client worksites to achieve excellence in
safety and health.
- Share information on T & T worksites, best practices, as jointly determined by OSHA and T & T with
others in the industry and publicize results through outreach by T & T and through OSHA develop
training programs and materials, workshops, seminars, and lectures.
- Promote and encourage T & T worksites and client companies to build relationships with OSHA’s
Regional and area office and Consultation Projects to address health and safety issues, including
issues that impact the construction industry.
OSHA and T & T Staff Management, LP 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 T & T Staff Management, LP leaders address groups.
- Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings on construction
issues to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace to provide input.
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. Team members will include representatives of OSHA’s Directorate of Cooperative and
State Programs. 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 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 all signatories.
