Question: Who may sign an Alliance with OSHA?

Answer:

Organizations committed to workplace safety in health, including, but not limited to, trade and professional associations, labor unions, educational institutions, community and faith-based groups, and government agencies, may sign an alliance agreement with federal OSHA at the national, regional, or area office level. State Plans and On-Site Consultation programs may also sign or otherwise participate in Alliances.

OSHA may also sign Alliances with for-profit entities, Native American Tribes, Whistleblower Protection Entities, and Consulates with consideration for additional approval procedures. Please see Section VII of the Alliance Program Directive for additional information.
