I. Background
The St. Louis Area Office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Gilbane Tarlton
Joint Venture, project subcontractors, and labor organizations recognize the need for a safe and
healthy jobsite. The goal of this partnership agreement is to help ensure that the Pfizer New
Research Building project will provide a safe work environment for all employees.
This Partnership is designed to not only address the hazards within the construction industry, but
also to promote and recognize those jobsites that have a demonstrated and effective safety and
health program.
This document will serve to establish a cooperative effort in ensuring a high degree of safety
performance and maintaining an open line of communication between OSHA, the Gilbane Tarlton Joint
Venture, and subcontractors on this project.
Specifications and assignments within this partnership document do not relieve the contractors from
or lessen their safety & health responsibilities nor change any contractual obligations between the
Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture and the project Owner and/or Developer or any of Gilbane Tarlton Joint
Venture(s). Nor does it lessen any/all affirmative defenses, legal rights or due process afforded
contractors with respect to Agency enforcement action.
II. Situational Analysis
OSHA has identified the top four causes of fatalities in construction as: falls, being struck by
equipment or machinery, electrocution, and caught-in-between equipment or materials. The goal for
this Partnership Agreement is to realize, upon completion of the project, reduction of accidents,
injuries and illnesses on the project.
This project will encompass the construction of a new research building for Pfizer Inc. on its’
Chesterfield, MO campus.
III. Identification of Partnership Organizations
Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture
Project subcontractors
OSHA – St. Louis Area Office
Pledge Support for the partnership
All subcontractors that work on this project are considered Partners. For
contracts already executed Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture will incorporate this OSHA partnership into
their respective agreements with a subcontractor change order.
IV. Program Goals
- As a goal, maintain a lost time incidence rate below the BLS national average of without
fatalities. The incidence rate for this Partnership is established as 0.65 or lower.
- Frequent jobsite inspections utilizing a system developed by the Partnership Members. This system
provides comprehensive coverage and documentation over a wide variety of site conditions.
- Ensure employees receive training as follows:
- All employees will receive a site-specific safety orientation from Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture
covering jobsite safety and health issues and procedures relative to the work being performed. All
employees will attend a safety review meeting with their respective Subcontractor before performing
work on the site.
- All supervisory personnel engaged in construction activities or other personnel serving in the
capacity as a competent person shall have completed the OSHA 10 hour course for the construction
industry (or its equivalent) prior to commencement of work on-site. Site personnel designated as
safety representatives shall, as a minimum, have completed the OSHA 30 hour construction training
course (or its equivalent).
- Records of training certification will be maintained by the individual trades and available for
review by OSHA upon request. Other hazard-specific training will be conducted on an as-needed basis
by the respective contractors.
- Implement an aggressive Fall Protection Plan to include fall protection in all cases where work
is being performed six feet or more above a lower surface.
- Require all subcontractors who have written safety and health programs to submit them to Gilbane
Tarlton Joint Venture before the start of any on-site work. Subcontractors that do not have their
own written safety and health programs have the option of adopting the safety and health program of
Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture, develop one by utilizing services provided by other Partnership
Members or secure the services of an outside consulting firm. This must be completed and submitted
to Gilbane Tarlton Joint Venture before beginning any work on site. All subcontractors shall have an
effective safety program in place.

for this type of construction versus actual injury costs following completion of the project.
- The total lost workday injury and illness rate compared to the average for construction
Nationally based on the BLS 2002 published Incidence Rate of 3.9.
- Documented job site inspections and total number of hazards identified and corrected will be
maintained by the Gilbane/Tarlton safety department and will be made available to OSHA’s St. Louis
Area Office upon request.
- Records of training certifications/training rosters will be maintained. Report the total number
of people trained. These may include, but not be limited to, OSHA 10 and 30 hour courses as well as
