AGREEMENT RENEWING THE ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE RISK AND INSURANCE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY

OSHA and the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) hereby renew the Alliance signed on April 14, 2002. OSHA and RIMS will continue to provide RIMS members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, particularly in demonstrating the cost benefits and business value of safety and health management systems. Further, OSHA and RIMS will continue their efforts to establish lines of communication between OSHA and member organizations of RIMS that will improve the perception of OSHA, foster understanding of the safety and health needs of the member organizations of RIMS, and allow the exchange of technical information and best practices, as jointly determined by OSHA and RIMS.

This renewal will remain in effect for two years. Either signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with the concurrence of both signatories.
