1.0 Background
In an effort to eliminate serious hazards and achieve a high level of worker safety and health on
the Croton Water Treatment Facility, Skanska/Tully JV and the above named groups have developed a
comprehensive partnering agreement. Participants include Project stakeholders from government,
industry employers, labor, and trade associations. 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.
This partnering agreement shall be limited to Skanska/Tully JV, OSHA's Tarrytown Area Office (OSHA),
the New York State Department of Labor Division of Safety and Health On-Site Consultation Program
(NYS Consultation), and the General Contractors Association of New York, Inc. (GCA). It is
anticipated that at the peak of this project, Skanska/Tully JV and its subcontractors will employ
over 650 trades employees.
This partnership is consistent with OSHA's long-range efforts to develop a contractor/government
partnership approach to safety and health management. It allows for better use of OSHA resources,
innovation in safety and health management, and encourages more participation in the safety and
health process from the construction/trade association communities.
2.0 Definitions
DART: Days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer
Investigations: The procedure for responding to non-formal complaints described in OSHA's Field
Inspection Reference Manual. This procedure mandates that OSHA contact an employer and inform them
of the safety and/or health hazards that are alleged, by a complainant, to exist in that employer's
workplace. OSHA then faxes a copy of the allegations to the employer. The employer must
satisfactorily respond to the allegations within five calendar days, or an OSHA enforcement
inspection may be initiated.
TCIR: (Total Case Incident Rate) This injury and illness rate is calculated by dividing the number
of lost worktime events by the total number of employee hours worked, and then multiplying by
200,000. The resultant rate reflects the injury and illness rate per 100 full-time workers.
Other-than-Serious Violations: This type of violation references situations where the most serious
injury or illness that would be likely to result from a hazardous condition cannot reasonably be
predicted to cause death or serious physical harm to exposed employees but does have a direct and
immediate relationship to their safety and health.
Qualified Safety and Health Representative: For the purpose of this
Partnership only, a Qualified Safety and Health Representative will, as a minimum, be certified
in the OSHA 30-hour Construction Course, or have substantial construction safety and health
experience.
Serious Violations: Section 17(k) of the Act provides " . . . a serious
violation shall be deemed to exist in a place of employment if there is a substantial probability
that death or serious physical harm could result from a condition which exists, or from one or more
practices, means, methods, operations, or processes which have been adopted or are in use, in such
place of employment unless the employer did not, and could not with the exercise of reasonable
diligence, know of the presence of the violation."
Verification Inspection: A limited scope inspection that will focus on the following areas: a
comprehensive review of the required safety and health programs and a site review of Fall,
Struck-by, Electrocution, and Caught-Between hazards.
Voluntary Protection Programs: The Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) promotes effective
worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative
relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management
system. Approval into VPP is OSHA's official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and
employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.
VPPPA: The VPPPA promotes the benefits of cooperative programs among employees, management and labor
through educational and outreach services, as well as an active government affairs program.
Educational opportunities include workshops, conferences and presentations throughout the United
States. Outreach programs include the Association's quarterly magazine The Leader, electronic
newsletters, the VPPPA Mentoring Program and the VPPPA Web site.
3.0 Project History
Skanska/Tully JV. has a workforce of 650 employees, is involved in heavy construction, and is
headquartered in Whitestone NY.
SKANSKA/TULLY JV is the general contractor for the Croton Water Treatment Facility. The Croton Water
Treatment Facility involves the construction of a cast-in-place concrete building, steel-access
platforms, Fabrication and instillation of Process Mechanical Equipment and Piping System.
Construction for the Croton Water Treatment Facility will commence on August 21, 2007 and is
scheduled to be completed on, or about, April 21, 2012.
During construction, SKANSKA/TULLY JV will provide a full time safety manager and ensure compliance
with construction environmental, health, and safety practices. This includes federal, state, local,
Croton Water Treatment Facility, and owner rules and regulations.
4.0 Partnership Goals and Objectives
4.1 The goals of this Partnership include:
- Developing a contractor/government partnership that will encourage local construction
subcontractors involved in the Project to improve their safety and health performance;
- Assisting the participating local construction subcontractors in achieving the objectives listed
below;
- Implementing strategies to eliminate serious accidents, including the four primary construction
hazards (falls, electrical, caught in/between, and struck-by);
- Ensuring employee safety and health training;
- Recognizing those subcontractors with exemplary safety and health programs;
- A Project DART rate that is 25% less than the national average for Standard Industry Code XXXX.
4.2 The objectives of this Partnership include:
- Reducing the number of conditions that have the potential to result in worker injury/illness to
the lowest reasonable level, through employee training and hazard(s) identification and correction;
- 100% compliance with project-required incident prevention activities;
- Zero (0) fatalities;
- Zero (0) exposure of employees to walking/working surfaces (horizontal and vertical) with
unprotected sides or edges, which are 6 feet or more above a lower level;
- Conducting a gap analysis of all participating contractors' site-specific safety and health
programs and, through resource sharing, enhance these programs to meet the Partnership Agreement
performance criteria. "Gap analysis" is the difference between the contractor's site-specific
programs and SKANSKA/TULLY JV's requirements for work procedures each contractor is to perform.
SKANSKA/TULLY JV will evaluate each contractor's site-and task specific analysis to ensure that it
meets the required safety and health performance criteria for the site prior to commencement of
their onsite activities. SKANSKA/TULLY JV will provide reasonable assistance to subcontractor to
improve their safety program.
- Fostering a sustainable working relationship between SKANSKA/TULLY JV, OSHA, local contractors,
building and construction trades, and other entities involved in this Croton Water Treatment
Facility;
- Partnering with the GCA and the union representative framework to encourage positive change
within the local construction industry with respect to betterment of construction safety and health
during the project.
- Discussions of the benefits of participation in the VPP, and initiation of the VPP Application
process.
To achieve the goals and objectives cited above, OSHA, SKANSKA/TULLY JV, NYS Consultation, and GCA
will form an Implementation Team (IT) comprised of representatives of their organizations. These
representatives will work together to develop a plan of action, determine the working procedures of
the IT, identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants, and develop a time-line for the
goals and objectives described in this Partnership document. This time-line will also establish the
dates for submission of data and other records to OSHA by SKANSKA/TULLY JV, as described in this
Partnership document.
The IT will meet within 30 working days of the signing of this Partnership to review the goals and
objectives described herein. It will meet three times per year thereafter, for the duration of the
Partnership, to evaluate progress toward the Goals and Objectives. Annually, at least one of these
meetings will be in person

9.0 OSHA Inspections and Investigations
9.1 Verification Inspections - Qualification for this OSHA Partnership
requires that OSHA conduct a Verification Inspection of SKANSKA/TULLY JV and the Project within
30 days of the signing of this agreement, and annually thereafter for the
term of this Partnership Agreement. This verification inspection will determine SKANSKA/TULLY JV
and contractor compliance and include a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of each
subcontractor's safety and health program. Subcontractors who are determined, by OSHA, to be outside
the aforementioned criteria for inclusion under this Partnership Agreement will be subject to
traditional OSHA inspections and enforcement actions. Serious hazards discovered during the
Verification Inspection may result in the issuance of citations and penalties. Other than regulatory
violations (e.g., 29CFR 1903 and 1904), no penalties will be assessed for other-than-serious
violations provided they are abated the same day as the 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.
9.2 Formal Complaints / Referrals / Imminent Danger
This partnership calls for the immediate response by SKANSKA/TULLY JV to each allegation of a safety
and health hazard brought to the attention of management by any person. Upon finding that the
allegation is valid, the employer shall promptly correct the hazard.
SKANSKA/TULLY JV and the participating contractors recognize and accept that OSHA will investigate
formal complaints and referrals, and alleged imminent danger hazards in accordance with OSHA's
CPL-02-00-140 – Complaint Policies and Procedures. These inspections will be conducted outside the
scope of this partnership agreement in accordance with normal enforcement procedures and practices.
Hazards identified may result in the issuance of citations and penalties. All formal complaints,
referrals, and imminent danger situations will be discussed by SKANSKA/TULLY JV at the next
scheduled job safety and health meeting.
9.3 Investigations
OSHA will investigate non-formal complaints in accordance with OSHA's CPL-02-00-140 – Complaint
Policies and Procedures. SKANSKA/TULLY JV will immediately investigate all allegations and correct
any hazards identified. The affected subcontractor, if any, as well as affected unions will also be
notified of the alleged hazard. SKANSKA/TULLY JV will notify OSHA of its findings and abatement
within five calendar days of the original complaint notification. Failure
to meet this time frame will place the complaint/referral outside the scope of this partnership
agreement and result in an OSHA on-site inspection of the allegations.
All non-formal complaints and investigation results will be discussed by SKANSKA/TULLY JV at the
next scheduled job safety and health meeting.
9.4 Accident/Incident Inspections
SKANSKA/TULLY JV and the participating contractors recognize and accept that OSHA will fully inspect
incidents involving employee deaths, incidents resulting in the hospitalization of three or more
employees, or other serious incidents that come to the attention of OSHA. 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.
9.5 Programmed Inspections
Programmed Inspections may be initiated if there has not been a verification inspection during the
12 previous months. These inspections will be conducted in accordance with normal enforcement
procedures and practices. Hazards identified may result in the issuance of citations and penalties.
SKANSKA/TULLY JV and the contractors participating in this partnership will receive a deferral from
Programmed Inspections, for 12 months, after successful completion of the Verification Inspection.
9.5 Follow-up Inspections
If OSHA issues citations as a result of any inspection conducted, it may conduct a follow-up
inspection to verify abatement.
10.0 Incentives
10.1 Skanska/Tully JV, and the participating contractors will receive a deferral, for 12 months,
from programmed inspections following successful completion of a verification inspection.
10.2 No penalties will be assessed for other-than-serious violations provided they are abated the
same day as the inspection.
10.3 A maximum "Good Faith" and "History" penalty adjustment factor will be applied as allowed under
OSHA's Field Instruction Reference Manual (FIRM) in the event that citations are issued to the
SKANSKA/TULLY JV and the participating contractors.
10.4 OSHA will work with the Partnership participants to maximize recognition of the Partnership
through various media outlets and the OSHA web site.
11.0 Termination of Partnership Agreement
This agreement will expire when Skanska/Tully JV's project activities are completed. Should either
OSHA or SKANSKA/TULLY JV choose to withdraw prior to that date, thirty (30) days written notice will
be given, and the partnership would terminate. If OSHA chooses to withdraw its participation in the
partnership, the entire agreement is terminated. Either party may also propose modification or
amendment of the agreement.
