The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center
(hereinafter Job Corps) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster
safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and the Job Corps hereby form an Alliance to
provide Job Corps students, instructors and other stakeholders affiliated with Job Corps operations
with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees'
health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to occupational hazards faced by
young workers in the workforce. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and the Job Corps Center recognize
that OSHA's State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national
effort.
OSHA and the Job Corps will work together to achieve the following training and education goals:
- Develop and present safety and health training and education to Job Corps students,
administrators, instructors and other relevant stakeholders at the Excelsior Springs and Kansas City
Alternate Training Center facilities.
- Develop and present safety and health training for trades that do not currently have access to
such training in their existing curriculums. These trades include Pharmacy Technology, Finance &
Business, Health Care, Culinary Arts programs and TCU program.
- OSHA agrees to provide guest speakers from OSHA for new student orientations and at assemblies.
- OSHA agrees to provide OSHA 10 hour training to students who do not already have access to this
resource through their existing curriculum including the soft trade programs at the Job Corps
facilities. These trades include Pharmacy Technology, Finance & Business, Health Care, Culinary Arts
programs and TCU Programs.
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.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years: Either 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 both signatories.
