Overview: The Partnership is working to
address high injury rates, reduce workers' compensation costs, and
identify and recognize superior safety and health management systems.
Results: This successful Partnership continues to reduce injury and
illness rates. The day's away rate for this Partnership decreased from
6.1 in 2003 to 4.3 in 2004, a 29.5% reduction and well below the
national average. This Partnership's overall safety and health
management system was enhanced in 2004 through improvements to
management involvement. In 2004, the new AGC safety director and the
compliance assistance specialist presented seven residential
construction training sessions. In 2005, they jointly presented an
additional nine sessions and a steering committee of partnership
safety directors began developing leadership training for their
members' superintendents and foremen. This training will cross
membership boundaries since not all partners are AGC members.
Even though the amount of construction in the state has grown rapidly,
the partners have maintained a low rate of fatalities, and the rate of
injuries and illnesses is declining. Since the Partnership's inception
in 1996, only one fatality has occurred involving a partnered company.
In 2007, the third annual Safety Fest of the Great Northwest was held
at the URS Washington Division Corporate headquarters in Boise, ID.
OSHA co-sponsored the event with URS Washington Division Corporate,
the AGC, Idaho Department of Technical Education, and American Society
of Safety Engineers. A vendor area comprised of private companies and
government agencies was available to provide information to attendees
for two days of the conference. A total of 613 people participated in
the four day event, an increase of 90 from the previous year. ID
Governor C.L. Otter, the keynote speaker, and Dean Ikeda, OSHA's
Region 10 Deputy Regional Administrator, spoke during the opening
session.

Overview: This Partnership is an offshoot of
the general contractor targeting Partnership and involves the Boise
Area Office and the construction specialty trades subcontractors. Among
the specialty trades are excavation, concrete work, structural steel
erection, carpentry, roofing, electrical work, painting, heating/air
conditioning, masonry and plastering. Participating subcontractors must
adhere to strict requirements for managing site safety and health in
exchange for priority consideration for OSHA outreach and technical
assistance.
Results: In 2003, this Partnership included 7 specialty contractors and
25 regular contractors. Ten inspections were conducted at the specialty
partnership sites, of which only one partnering specialty site received
a citation. During 2003, the partnering specialty contractors had a
total of 372 different construction sites. A total of 1340 compliance
audits were conducted, in which 611 OSHA violations were identified and
corrected immediately. This Partnership has increased employee
awareness of safety and health.
The fatality rates and number of hazards found on partnered sites have
decreased during 2006. The average EMR for the partnered subcontractors
in 2007 was 0.86 compared to 0.90 in 2006. Since the partnership's
inception in 1996, only one fatality has occurred involving a partnered
company. |
