OSHA is committed to providing outreach and assistance to help employers proactively address safety and health issues in the workplace. To facilitate this effort OSHA is seeking OSHA Strategic Partnership Program (Partnership) success stories to post on its Partnership Webpage. We are looking for submissions from participating partners that have implemented successful safety and health practices. Generally, the success stories are 1-2 pages long and follow a standard format. Information provided should cover background on the Partnership, anecdotal or statistical evidence of safety and health improvements related to implementation of Partnership requirements and objectives and/or information on how the need for a new or improved process or procedure was addressed and implemented, including any obstacles (e.g., cost, employee resistance). Success stories should show your results and your measure(s) of success (e.g., lower injury rates, higher productivity, higher morale, lower insurance costs).

The process for submission would require little of your time and is as follows:

• The employer or partner(s) should contact OSHA after identifying a success story that they would like to share.
• The employer or partner’s contact information will be assigned to a contractor who will interview the organization about their success. A draft will be produced in the approved format.
• After review and approval by the employer or partner, the success story will be finalized and submitted for posting to the website.

We know that many employers and partners have undertaken projects that have greatly reduced the risk of injury to their employees. Sharing these successful ideas and practices can help reduce hazards in more workplaces. Please submit your ideas and view the website often to see if someone has posted a process that you can use in your workplace. If you have a success story that you would like to share, please send it to Danielle Gibbs.
