    Speaker Notes:

    Region I Braintree, MA and Providence, RI Area Offices signed an Area Alliance with the US Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Providence, RI. The agreement focuses on training US Coast Guard Marine Safety Office personnel on OSHA’s safety and health information pertaining to boatyards, shipyards, stevedoring and marine crane safety.

    Products: Both US Coast Guard and OSHA staff have crossed trained each other on inspecting boatyards.

    Region IV and Region VI Baton Rouge, LA and Jackson, MS Area Offices, Northrop Grumman Ship System Ingalls, Gulfport, and Avondale Operations’; Pascagoula Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO; the New Orleans Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO; and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 733 signed Area Alliances. The Alliances focus on effective safety and health training to labor and management representatives on such maritime issues as electrical hazards, fall protection, and crane safety. In addition, Northrop Grumman will develop and deliver 8-hour workplace safety and health training to all employees, which includes training on VPP, PPE and accident investigation annually.

    Region IX and the Ship Repair Association of Hawaii, along with several other organizations signed a Regional Alliance with the Hawaii Occupational Safety & Health Division, Educational Institutions and the Primary Business, Safety & Health, and Government Organizations in Hawaii. The Alliance focuses on assessing the training and education needs of the occupational safety and health community of Hawaii.

    Region X and SCA signed a Regional Alliance. The agreement encourages the development of programs to improve shipyard safety and health. This includes providing OSHA with a model shipyard lockout/tagout program that the Agency can incorporate as an industry recommendation for the Shipyard Employment eTool.

    Products: On July 7, 2003, with assistance from the Region X Bellevue Area Office, SCA gave a two hour comprehensive training session on lead awareness to approximately 20 representatives from various shipyards. Training topics included where lead is typically found in vessels, routes of entry, medical symptoms of overexposure, methods to control exposure, recordkeeping, medical surveillance, and abatement methods. Each participant received a copy of OSHA’s “Lead in the Workplace” CD along with a copy of the training materials.

    -Looking ahead to future Alliance milestones, the SCA has provided OSHA’s Region X Portland and Bellevue Area Offices with a draft lockout/tagout program developed by Todd Shipyards in Seattle for review and comment. When finalized, this program will be incorporated into the OSHA Shipyard Employment eTool as an industry recommended best practice

    Region VI – Houston North Area Office and US Coast Guard
    The Alliance will focus on working with uninspected vessels
