I. Scope/Background
To facilitate OSHA’s goal of reducing occupationally related fatalities by 3% each year, and
reducing the total Rate of Days Away from Work by 4% each year, Region III of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") and Slattery Skanska, Inc. ("Slattery Skanska") have
agreed to the joint implementation of the Morrisville Train Yard Project #483 partnership during
construction of the Morrisville Train Storage Yard and Service/Inspection Facility.
The goal of this program is to develop a contractor/government partnership that will encourage
construction contractors to improve their safety and health performance, assist them in doing that,
strive for the elimination of serious accidents in the construction industry, and recognize those
contractors with exemplary safety and health programs.
This agreement between Slattery Skanska and OSHA is expected to result in decreased serious injuries
and illnesses and fatalities for the site and improve existing safety and health programs. It
provides incentives to construction contractors that voluntarily participate in the Morrisville
Train Yard Project #483 partnership and demonstrate implementation of effective safety and health
programs, for example, limited scope inspections and reductions in penalties. This agreement will
not in any way affect employees’ ability to exercise rights under the OSH Act and OSHA regulations,
including walk-around rights.
The parties to this agreement recognize that it does not include any exemption from OSHA inspections
or penalties. However, the contractors expect that OSHA will acknowledge superior performance by
providing timely responses to requests for information and requests for clarification of OSHA
standards.
Therefore, OSHA and Slattery Skanska at the Morrisville Train Yard Project #483 are entering into
this partnership to foster a safe and healthful workplace for employees by having joint cooperation
as prescribed within the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
II. Identification of Partners
The primary participants in this Partnership are,
- Slattery Skanska Inc. ("Slattery Skanska")
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Allentown Area Office ("OSHA")
- Pennsylvania OSHA Consultation at Indiana University of Pennsylvania ("PA OSHA Consultation")
- Union and Local Building Trades
III. Project Overview
The Morrisville Train Yard Project #483, located in Morrisville (Bucks County) Pennsylvania is a
construction project owned by the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) and consists of the
construction of a new train storage yard and an 85,000 square foot train service and inspection
facility. The train yard construction activities will involve the installation of new tracks, an
overhead catenary system (OCS), 138 KV electrical transmission towers, new substations as well as
upgrades to existing substations, site utilities including: catenary lighting, communications,
storm, sanitary and water sewers systems, and general site work such as pavement. The train service
and inspection facility will include construction of a high bay building which will include concrete
track pits, structural steel framing with metal and precast panels and will house elevated posted
track, a center platform between the service and inspection tracks and side locomotive roof access
platforms. This facility will also contain bridge and monorail cranes, a wheel truer machine and car
progression system, a traction sand dispensing system, a mobile platform gantry and a train
signaling system.
Over the life of the project (approximately 18 months) contractors will employ approximately 158
individual construction tradespersons at peak construction. The complete work will include: site
construction, concrete, excavation work, pile foundation installation, structural steel and
miscellaneous metal work, track work, electrical, masonry, mechanical/plumbing, rebar installation,
caissons, cranes and lifts use and installation and painting.
IV. Goals, Strategies, Measures
The partnership’s goal is to reduce injuries and illnesses and fatalities through a cooperative
relationship between Slattery Skanska and OSHA. This goal will be accomplished by implementing and
following the plan outlined below and evaluating these actions as indicated:
- Develop, implement and maintain effective and comprehensive safety and health programs in
accordance with OSHA’s 1989 Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines or its equivalent.
Slattery Skanska agrees to complete a self-audit and an evaluation of subcontractors’ safety and
health programs using Appendix B (or equivalent) at the outset of the partnership.
OSHA will evaluate Slattery Skanska’s safety and health programs prior to and during the OSHA
verification inspection using Appendix B (or equivalent) and will observe whether the safety and
health management systems in place are adequately protecting employees.
- Achieve participant recordable illness and injury rates below the national average for the
construction industry. A partnership goal is to keep the DART rate (cases with days away from work,
job-transfer, or restriction) below the national average for the most recent year published for
NAICS 236220 (SIC 1542), which was 3.0 for the year 2004. The partnership goal is to further reduce
this level of recordable injuries annually by at least 4% for the duration of the partnership.
Identify and correct primary causal factors in worker injuries and illnesses.
Establish systems to identify and correct accidents and nears misses.
OSHA will meet at least quarterly with Slattery Skanska to examine the injury and illness experience
of the partnership’s participants and to make corrections and adjustments as needed.

VII. On-Site Verification Inspection and Benefits
- Verification
In order to assist in measuring the success of this partnership, a verification inspection
consisting of a review of the written program elements outlined herein by a Compliance Assistance
Specialist and a focused inspection of site construction hazards by a Compliance Safety and Health
Officer will be conducted after the signing of this agreement, and annually thereafter. The timing
of the inspection will be intended to evaluate employee exposure to the four focused hazards: falls,
struck-by, caught-in, and electrocution. After the initial verification inspection, annual
inspections will focus on the most serious hazards that have been previously identified pursuant to
the procedure herein.
The top causes of injuries and illnesses will be determined by all parties prior to and during the
initial OSHA verification inspection, and may be adjusted based on experience. Additionally,
corrections will be identified by all parties and implemented by Slattery Skanska. Injury and
illness incidence in targeted areas will be evaluated through the OSHA 300 log and any other
relevant accident reports.
OSHA will meet with Slattery Skanska quarterly to review partnership issues and to examine updated
DART rates and the injury and illness experience of Slattery Skanska Inc and its contractors at this
site. OSHA shall provide feedback on any noted incident trends and patterns.
- Benefits
OSHA will not issue penalties to participating contractors for other-than-serious violations,
provided the violations are immediately abated. OSHA reserves the right to issue penalties for
regulatory violations for which mandatory penalties are established pursuant to the policy set forth
in the Field Inspection Reference Manual (FIRM).
When calculating initial penalty reductions, OSHA may provide an additional 10% penalty reduction
for good faith to participating contractors provided they have taken steps to adopt into their
safety program all of the provisions of the partnership agreement. This additional reduction will
not apply to high gravity serious, willful, failure to abate or repeat citations. In cases where a
contractor’s total penalty reduction is 100 percent or more, the minimum penalty provisions of
OSHA’s FIRM will apply.
VIII. OSHA Inspections
- Complaint Investigations
This partnership provides for the immediate response to each allegation of a safety or health hazard
brought to its attention by any person. Upon a finding that an allegation is valid, the employer
shall promptly abate the hazard. OSHA agrees that a copy of each non-formal complaint related to the
work at the site and filed with OSHA will be forwarded by fax or mail to the Slattery Skanska site
office. In accordance with applicable law, the identity of a complainant requesting confidentiality
will not be revealed. Slattery Skanska agrees to investigate these complaints, regardless of the
employer involved and provide OSHA with a written response as follows:
- non-formal complaints/referrals alleging a hazard: 24 hours
Failure to meet this time frame, or providing a response determined by OSHA to be inadequate, 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.
- Other Investigations
OSHA personnel will continue to conduct investigations under local and national emphasis programs,
workplace complaints, referrals, fatalities, catastrophes, other accidents or significant events,
and will investigate contractors whose employees are exposed to or are creating plain view hazards
at partnering worksites. These investigations will be conducted outside of this partnership
agreement in accordance with established OSHA enforcement policy. Violations documented during such
investigations may result in the issuance of citations and penalties.
IX. Employee Rights
This Partnership does not preclude employees and/or employers from exercising any right provided
under the OSH Act (or, for federal employees, 29 CFR 1960), nor does it abrogate any responsibility
to comply with rules and regulations adopted pursuant to the OSH Act.
X. Leveraging
This partnership seeks to leverage the resources of both Slattery Skanska and OSHA by encouraging
contractors to develop safety and health programs, implement them in an effective manner, complete
self inspections, and evaluate worksite conditions and near misses to prevent accidents. By
combining resources, Slattery Skanska and OSHA expect to have a greater and more positive impact on
safe working conditions at this site than could be achieved otherwise.
XI. Evaluation
A joint evaluation of the partnership will be prepared annually by the partners using Appendix D.
The evaluation will review the success of the partnership, lessons learned, and changes that will be
made to meet the goals of the partnership.
XII. Termination
This agreement will terminate two years from the date of the signing or upon completion of the
Morrisville Train Yard Project #483. If either OSHA or Slattery Skanska wishes to withdraw its
participation prior to the established termination date, the agreement will terminate upon receiving
a written notice of the intent to withdraw from either signatory.
OSHA will terminate the partnership if the participating employer is issued a citation related to
workplace hazards which resulted in a fatality.

APPENDIX A
Slattery Skanska Morrisville Train Yard Project #483 Partnership Fact Sheet |
A strategic partnership agreement has been developed jointly by the United States Department of
Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration Allentown Area Office (“OSHA”), and Slattery
Skanska Inc. (“Slattery Skanska”). The common objective and goal of the program is to develop a
contractor/government partnership that encourages all construction contractors to improve their
safety and health performance, assist them in doing that, strive for the elimination of serious
accidents in the construction industry, and to recognize those contractors with exemplary safety and
health programs. The specific impetus behind the agreement is to provide a safe and healthful work
environment for workers engaged in construction activities for the project.
Expected outcomes of this partnership include: developing criteria for a model multi-employer
worksite safety and health program which specifically identifies the responsibilities of each
subcontractor; making safety and health materials available to all subcontractors onsite; planning
for safety and health in all aspects of the project; providing visible safety and health leadership;
achieving participant recordable illness and injury rates below the national average for the
construction industry; and focusing OSHA enforcement activity on those contractors and
subcontractors who have little or no regard for the safety and health of their workers.
The agreement provides incentives to contractors and subcontractors who voluntarily improve their
safety and health performance. Incentives will include special recognition from OSHA and focused
enforcement efforts by OSHA and consideration for additional good faith penalty reductions.
This agreement is consistent with OSHA’s long-range effort to develop a contractor/government
partnership approach to safety management. It allows for better use of OSHA resources and for
innovation in safety management, and it encourages more participation in the safety process by each
stakeholder.
