AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH DIVISION (CONN-OSHA) AND THE CONNECTICUT HIGHWAY STREET SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION (CHSSA)
The State of Connecticut Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Division (CONN-OSHA) and the Connecticut Highway Street Supervisors Association (CHSSA) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. CONN-OSHA and CHSSA hereby form an Alliance to provide CHSSA’s 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 road construction hazards and addressing work zone safety issues. CONN-OSHA and CHSSA will work together to achieve the following training and education goals: Develop training and education programs on Supervisor Responsibility, and Road Construction hazards targeted to the Public Works Industry. Deliver or arrange for the delivery of Supervisor Responsibility and Road Construction hazard courses. Deliver or arrange for the delivery of the 10-Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Course. CONN-OSHA and CHSSA will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals: Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including links from CONN-OSHA’s and CHSSA’s Web sites. CONN-OSHA will speak, exhibit, and appear at CHSSA’s conferences, local meetings, and other events. Share information on best practices with others in the industry and publicize the results through outreach by CHSSA, and through CONN-OSHA or CHSSA developed training programs and materials. 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 proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a party, CONN-OSHA is not endorsing any of that party’s products or services; nor does the Agency or Division 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 quarterly 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.   Name Title CONN-OSHA   Date   Name Title CHSSA   Date
