Question: If Alliance signatories are not able to sign an agreement in person, can they sign by mail? For signings by mail, should OSHA sign first or last? What is the official signing date?

Answer:

Alliance signings and renewals can be done by mail. The non-OSHA Alliance participants should sign first, followed by the OSHA official(s). The date the OSHA official(s) signs should be considered the signing date. It is also permissible to have some participants sign in person and others sign by mail.
