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 Corman Construction have agreed to the joint
implementation of a strategic partnership during restoration construction of the Frederick
Douglass/South Capitol Street Memorial Bridge. The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is a
structural steel on concrete structural, 3002 feet long by 75 feet wide. The project is located on
South Capitol Street in Southeast Washington DC and crosses the Anacostia River. The owner is the
District of Columbia Department of Transportation. The time duration of the restoration of the
bridge project is 16 months. The total value of the project is $26,029,902.
The scope of the work entails steel repair and steel member strengthening, sidewalk rehabilitation,
deck repair, installation of new lighting, repair of the fender system, removal of the Hess
petroleum tanks under the bridge, reworking the approaches to the new baseball stadium, re-painting
the steel bridge members, milling, re-paving, and marking the newly paved deck.
The number of workers on this project will range between 59 and 100. The number of sub-contractors
scheduled to work on the project is 11. The work on the project will be done by working both on the
land and water.
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.
Under the partnership, the contractors expect that OSHA will acknowledge superior performance by
providing timely responses to requests for information and requests for clarification of OSHA
standards as resources allow.
This agreement between Corman Construction 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 Frederick
Douglass/ South Capitol Memorial Bridge Restoration Project 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.
Therefore, OSHA and Corman Construction 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:
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Baltimore/Washington Area Office ("OSHA")
- Corman Construction
III. Project Overview
Over the life of the project (approximately 18 months) contractors will employ approximately 50 to
100 individual construction tradespersons at peak construction. The complete work will include: site
construction, stripping off existing roadway, repaving and remarking the road, concrete pier
construction, excavation work, pile foundation, restoration including installation and modification,
electrical, masonry, rebar installation, existing fuel tank removal, bridge sand blasting and
painting, structural steel and miscellaneous. Project work will also include working on the
Anacostia River and restoring the bumper systems around the water. This will be accomplished by
using boats and "shuegard" floats which allow material placement prior to use on the water.
IV. Goals, Strategies, Measures
The partnership’s goal is to reduce injuries and illnesses and fatalities through a cooperative
relationship between Corman Construction 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.
Corman Construction agrees to complete a self-audit and an evaluation of subcontractor’s safety and
health programs which will include an evaluation of safety in marine construction operations. Corman
will provide assistance to participating contractors as needed to upgrade safety programs to account
for over-the-water operations.
OSHA will evaluate Corman Construction and subcontractor’s safety and health programs prior to and
during the OSHA verification inspection using Appendix B (or equivalent). OSHA will observe whether
the safety and health management systems in place are adequately protecting employees for all
activities at the site including marine construction activities.
- 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 237310 (SIC 1622), which was 3.5 for the year 2005. 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 Corman Construction to examine the injury and illness
experience of the partnership’s participants and to make corrections and adjustments as needed.
DART rates and injury and illness experience will be evaluated through review of the OSHA 300 log
and any other relevant accident reports.
V. Statement of Agreement

for the evaluating the merits of the program and making recommendations for continuous improvement.
VI. Contractor Eligibility
Subcontractors wishing to take advantage of this opportunity to partner with OSHA must:
- Sign a letter of agreement with Corman Construction indicating their intent to participate in
this partnership initiative and to take steps to adopt into their safety program all of the
provisions of the partnership agreement. Appendix C.
- Verify that a comprehensive written safety and health program exists or will be implemented
within 30 days of signing which is based on the OSHA 1989 Safety and Health Program Management
Guidelines (or their equivalent), and has site specific safety plans for all of the contractor’s
work sites.
- Certify that their policy and procedures hold supervisors and workers accountable for established
safety rules and OSHA regulations.
- Provide the level of training required by OSHA regulations to their workers either through their
own training personnel or other consultants or trainers.
- Ensure that as soon as possible, but not longer than one year after obtaining acceptance into

competent person will have completed the OSHA 10-hour course for the construction industry (or its
equivalent). Records of training certification will be provided to Corman Construction and made
available for review.
- Provide periodic safety-related statistics (man-hours worked, lost workday injuries, accident
records and OSHA inspection results). Corman Construction is to provide a summary and analysis for
review by OSHA to track the progress of the partnership in meeting its goals to reduce injury and
illness rates and to prepare an annual report to evaluate the merits of the partnership.
VII. On-Site Verification Inspection and Benefits
- Verification
In order to assist in measuring the success of this partnership, an initial enforcement verification
inspection will be conducted after the signing of this agreement, and annually thereafter. The
onsite enforcement verification may be conducted as a focused inspection if the site meets the
criteria outlined in OSHA’s current enforcement guidelines (See OSHA Memorandum on the Focused
Inspection Initiative, September 20, 1995: http://intranet.osha.gov/doc/LAP/doc/handbook/ii_memo.html).
Annual verification inspections will be timed to adequately evaluate employee exposure to OSHA’s
four focus hazards.
The top causes of injuries and illnesses will be determined by all parties prior to and during the
initial OSHA verification inspection. Corrections will be identified by all parties and implemented
by Corman Construction. Injury and illness incidence in targeted areas will be evaluated through the
OSHA 300 log and any other relevant accident reports.
Additionally, OSHA will meet with Corman Construction quarterly to review partnership issues and to
examine updated DART rates and the injury and illness experience of Corman Construction and its
contractors at this site. OSHA shall provide feedback on any noted incident trends and patterns.
- Benefits
Subcontractors, if participating in this partnership, will be granted a twelve-month inspection
deletion from programmed inspections, following a successful onsite verification inspection.
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
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.
- Non-formal Complaints:
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 Frederick Douglass/South Capitol Memorial Bridge
Restoration Project site office. In accordance with applicable law, the identity of a complainant
requesting confidentiality will not be revealed. Corman Construction 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.
- Formal Complaints and Other Investigations
OSHA personnel will continue to conduct investigations resulting from formal complaints, referrals,
local and national emphasis programs, fatalities, catastrophes, other accidents or significant
events. OSHA will also 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 Corman Construction 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, 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
Frederick Douglass/South Capitol Memorial Bridge Restoration project. If either OSHA or Corman
Construction 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 any employer on site is issued a citation related to
workplace hazards which resulted in a fatality.

APPENDIX A
Partnership Fact Sheet |
A strategic partnership agreement has been developed jointly by the United
States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Baltimore Washington Area
Office ("OSHA"), and Corman Construction. 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.
