Overview: This Partnership's efforts to identify trends and reduce injuries and
illnesses in the state's logging industry include producing and distributing a logging
safety manual, conducting training programs, supporting logging safety programs, and
promoting increased employer action and responsibility in safety and health management. More
than 242 employers and 2,400 employees are affected by this Partnership.
Results: From 1998-2000, during a 16-month period prior to this
Partnership’s implementation, there were 8 logging fatalities in Louisiana. In 2003, there
were three fatalities, and in 2004, there was one. This rate is expected to remain low and
ultimately reach zero as a result of this Partnership and the increased awareness of safety
and health issues in this industry. |

Overview: There is a high incidence of employee injuries in nursing homes,
particularly musculoskeletal injuries/disorders related to patient handling, slips, trips,
and falls. The partners are working cooperatively to reduce these injuries and increase
awareness about muscular injuries, bloodborne pathogens, tuberculosis exposure, and
workplace violence.
Results: This Partnership has 210 participating employers and has
taken several positive steps towards reducing injuries and illness in the industry. The
Office of State Consultation visited each of the facilities to assist in hazard
identification and abatement, which should improve self-inspections at the facilities.
Additionally, OSHA conducted recordkeeping classes in three cities to improve the
facilities’ ability to track and trend injuries and illnesses. |

Overview: Management, labor and OSHA will work together to strengthen the existing
safety and health management system, reduce illness and injury rates by 10% each year, and
identify the primary causal factors leading to those injuries and illnesses.
Results: From May 1, 2004 to June 9, 2005 the Partner improved
its safety and health management system by implementing an on-line hazard reporting system.
This system allows employees to report safety hazards online and track them to resolution.
Within this Partnership, the union and administration have formed a close working
relationship, with the union having representation in all areas of the safety program, from
serving on accident investigation teams to participating on inspection teams. The employer
has seen a reduction in costs and the number of lost man hours. The Partnership continues
its comprehensive training program with OSHA by providing training in recordkeeping,
accident investigation, OSHA updates and Industrial hygiene assistance. |

Overview: Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc., (ABC) and
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have entered into this
partnership to provide a safe and healthful work environment in the construction Industry.
Implementation of this agreement is expected to result in decreased injuries, illnesses,
and fatalities for participant contractors with a resultant decrease in worker
compensation costs. ABC member construction companies will use the Safety Training and
Evaluation Process, or "STEP" program in evaluating their safety and health program
performance and their safety and health training programs. The primary goals are to:
reduce by 3% annually the number of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities affecting
participant employers, with an emphasis on reducing injuries and fatalities resulting from
falls, struck-by and caught-in mishaps, and electrocution (focused four construction
hazards); increase the number of construction companies that implement effective safety
programs; decrease worker compensation costs and OSHA penalties for contractor
participants; and, allow OSHA to focus resources on companies that require attention from
OSHA, rather than companies that have demonstrated existence of effective safety programs.
Results: In 2005, this Partnership continued to maintain injury
and illness rates that are less than half the industry average. Additionally, one Partner,
REPCON, is an OSHA Challenge graduate and is actively pursuing VPP participation. |
