1.0 Background
In an effort to eliminate serious hazards and achieve a high level of worker safety and health for
employees engaged in the construction of the Kirner-Johnson Addition & Renovation Project at
Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. Barr & Barr, Inc., and the above named groups have developed a
comprehensive partnering agreement. Participants include project stakeholders from government,
industry employers, labor and the owner. This partnering agreement will facilitate the process of:
identifying project health and safety performance goals; developing plans for achieving those goals;
cooperation in hazard control implementation; measuring and establishing a vehicle to communicate
the successes; and ultimately learning from the process. Beyond the confines of this project, it is
projected that this partnership agreement will foster a sustainable working relationship between
OSHA, NYS Labor Consultation Program, Barr & Barr, Inc., and Hamilton College.
This partnering agreement shall be limited to Barr & Barr, their workforce of subcontractors and
Hamilton College, OSHA Syracuse Area Office, and NYS Labor Consultation Program. It is anticipated
that at the peak of this project, Barr & Barr, Inc., and its subcontractors will employ over 100
trades employees.
This partnership is consistent with OSHA's long-range efforts to develop a
contractor/government/owner partnership approach to safety and health management. It allows for
better use of OSHA resources, it allows for innovation in safety and health management, and it
encourages more participation in the safety and health process from the construction/trade
association communities.
2.0 Project History
Barr & Barr, Inc. is a construction management company headquartered in New York with a workforce of
approximately 300 employees. Barr & Barr's Framingham, Ma. office will be responsible for managing
all aspects of this project.
Barr & Barr, Inc., is the construction manager responsible for the construction of the Kirner
Johnson Addition & Renovation Project at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. The approximately $30
million project has a tentative duration of 26 months and entails the construction of a 93,000
square foot addition and renovations to the existing facility. The new structure will be structural
steel frame with roof top mechanical systems. The envelope finishes will consist of curtain wall,
punched windows, skylight, copper cladding, and pre-cast concrete panels. The project also includes
large amounts of excavation / utility work and road construction.
The Project will start in the summer of 2007 and is scheduled to be completed in early fall of 2009.
3.0 Partnership Goals and Strategies
3.1 The goals of this Partnership include:
- Eliminate serious accidents, including the four primary construction hazards (falls,
electrical, caught in/between, and struck-by) and illnesses associated with employee exposure to
crystalline silica;
- Developing a contractor/government/owner partnership that will encourage local construction
subcontractors involved in the projects to improve their safety and health performance;
- Employee involvement in safety program management and site conditions.
- Conducting contractor and subcontractor employee safety and health training;
3.2 The strategies of this Partnership include:
- Reducing the number of conditions that have the potential to result in worker injury/illness,
property damage, and environmental impact to the lowest reasonable level;
- Zero (0) fatalities / Zero (0) accidents;
- No employee exposures involving trenches and excavations without adequate cave-in protection
and exposure to falls greater than 6-feet;
- No employee exposures to silica above OSHA's General Industry Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
without utilization of feasible engineering controls, administrative controls, work practice
controls and/or adequate respiratory protection;
- Abating hazards that are identified from weekly safety and health inspections and having no
repeat occurrences of such conditions upon re-inspection;
- To have 100% of all employees on this project trained with an OSHA 10-hour Construction Safety
& Health course within 45 days of their starting work on this project. Barr & Barr, Inc.. OSHA
strongly recommends that employees and supervisors have the training current within the last 5
years.
- A project Days Away, Restricted and Transfer (DART) rate and Total Case Incidence Rate
(TCIR) rate which are 25% less than the national average for NAICS 236220 based upon the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) data available for the most current year (2004). The 2004 BLS DART rate for
NAICS = 3.0 and TCIR rate for NAICS 236220 = 6.1.;

7.0 Employee Involvement and Employee Rights
7.1 This partnership agreement fully supports and recognizes the importance of employee
participation in matters concerning safety and health in the workplace. As a vital component of an
effective safety and health program, the ability of employees to exercise their rights, which are
guaranteed under the OSH Act, will not be infringed. Employee involvement in the worksite safety and
health program will be encouraged, including employee participation in safety and health program
reviews, site inspections, employee safety and health training, accident investigations, and freedom
to report hazards, including near misses. The signatory construction trade unions directly involved,
or, effected by this partnership have been consulted and encouraged to suggest improvements and
further enhancements of this partnership. All employee, trade organization, and union involvement in
this Partnership will be documented by Barr & Barr, Inc.
8.0 Verification and OSHA Inspections
8.1.1 Barr & Barr, Inc., shall exercise control over any recognized site safety and health hazard to
eliminate the potential for injury or illness in accordance with this partnership agreement. Barr &
Barr Inc., or its representatives, will conduct comprehensive safety and health reviews and audits.
If any subcontractor under the control and direction of Barr & Barr Inc., does not meet the terms of
this partnership agreement the contractor may be subject to traditional enforcement action by OSHA.
8.1.2 Programmed Inspections OSHA will not conduct a Programmed Inspection of a partnering
subcontractor if OSHA has conducted a Verification Inspection, as described in Section 8.1.5 of this
Partnership Agreement, within the twelve month period preceding the initiation of such an
inspection. Should a Programmed Inspection, such as a National Emphasis Program (NEP) or a Local
Emphasis Program (LEP), result in the initiation of a Programmed Inspection of Barr & Barr, Inc.,
and the employers engaged in this partnership, the inspection will focus on:
- The hazards identified as targets of the NEP or SEP;
- The hazards identified by this Partnership: falls, electrical, caught in/between, struck-by,
and silica-related hazards.
Hazards identified may result in the issuance of citations and penalties.
8.1.3 Unprogrammed Inspections -Barr & Barr, Inc., and the employers engaged in this partnership
recognize and accept that OSHA will fully investigate incidents involving employee deaths or the
hospitalization of three or more employees, reports of imminent danger conditions, formal complaints
and referrals. These inspections will be conducted outside the partnership in accordance with normal
enforcement procedures and practices. Hazards identified may result in the issuance of citations and
penalties.
8.1.4 Complaint/Referral Investigations OSHA agrees that a copy of each non-formal
complaint/referral related to the work at the Project and filed with OSHA will be forwarded by fax,
or by other means, to Barr & Barr's project office. The name of the complainant will not be
revealed. Barr & Barr, Inc. agrees to promptly investigate complaints, regardless of the employer
involved, and provide OSHA with a written response within three days for non-formal
complaints/referrals alleging a serious hazard, and within three days when an other-than-serious
hazard is alleged.
Failure to meet these timeframes will place the complaint/referral outside the scope of this
Partnership and OSHA will respond as it would to any complaint of a similar nature.
8.1.5 On-site Verification - In order to qualify for partnership, OSHA will conduct a verification
inspection of the project pursuant to section 8, within 30 days of the signing of this agreement and
every 6 months thereafter to reflect those new contractors who have arrived on site following
previous verification inspections. This verification will determine Barr & Barr, Inc., and
contractor compliance with the terms of this agreement. It will also include a comprehensive review
of each onsite subcontractor's Safety and Health program for its effectiveness in eliminating the
four major construction hazards (falls, electrical, caught in/between and struck-by hazards), and a
comprehensive review of the silicosis prevention program to ensure elimination of silica-related
hazards. Citations and penalties may be issued, when appropriate, as a result of this inspection.
Enforcement verification inspections are performed in accordance with the applicable sections of the
OSHA FIRM and other enforcement guidance documents. As such, a focused inspection, concentrating on
the project safety and health program/plan, and the four leading hazards in construction: falls,
electrical hazards, caught in/between hazards, and struck by hazards may be done where upon initial
inspection of the site the OSHA compliance officer (CSHO) determines that the contractor meets the
requirements of the Focused Inspection Initiative. Serious hazards may result in the issuance of
citations and penalties. Subcontractors who are determined, either by Barr & Barr, Inc., or OSHA, to
be outside the aforementioned criteria for inclusion in this partnership agreement will be subject
to traditional OSHA inspections and enforcement actions.
8.1.6 Follow-up Inspections - If OSHA issues citations for serious
hazards on any inspection conducted at this project during the tenure of this Partnership, OSHA
may conduct a follow-up inspection to verify abatement.
9.0 Termination of Partnership Agreement
This agreement will terminate on October 1, 2009, which may be extended dependant on the actual
completion of the project. If any signatory of this agreement wishes to terminate their
participation prior to the established termination date, written notice of the intent to withdraw
must be provided to all other signatories.
If OSHA chooses to withdraw its participation in the partnership, the entire agreement is
terminated. Any signatory party may also propose modification or amendment of the agreement.
For non-signatory participants of the strategic partnership, OSHA may terminate the participant's
involvement at any time with written notice. Additionally, the participant may withdraw their
participation from the strategic partnership at any time with a written withdraw to OSHA.
10.0 New York State Department of Labor 21(d) Consultation Services
The New York State Department of Labor On-Site Consultation Program will provide resources as
necessary and available to support the priority training and technical assistance needs of the
participants of this partnership. Such assistance, which is provided only at the request of the
employer, may be in the form of onsite or off-site safety and/or health consultations. All
consultation findings will be kept confidential, so long as the employers agree to correct any
serious hazards that may be identified. There are no costs to the employer for the assistance
provided by the On-site Consultation Program under this agreement.
