(ABC-EPA), and the Pennsylvania OSHA Consultation Program of Indiana University of Pennsylvania (PA OSHA Consultation) (collectively "the Participants") recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. To that end, the Participants hereby form an Alliance to provide the participating construction industry employers and workers (members) and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers by reducing and preventing exposure to "Focus Four" hazards (falls, electrical, struck-by and caught between) and other recognized hazards associated with the construction industry, understand and implement elements of an effective safety and health management system, and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

Alliance participants also agree to meet the "Fundamental Requirements for OSHA Alliance Program Participants" and the "Guidelines for OSHA's Alliance Program Participants: Alliance Products and Other Alliance Projects."

Through the Alliance, the organizations will use available injury, illness, and hazard exposure data, when appropriate, to help identify areas of emphasis for Alliance awareness, outreach, and communication activities. The Alliance will also explore and implement selected options, including but not limited to member surveys, to evaluate the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In developing this Alliance, the Participants recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-Site Consultation Program partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort, and that information about the products and activities of the Alliance may be shared with these partners for the advancement of common goals.

Raising Awareness: Outreach and Communication

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives, as resources permit:

• Share information on OSHA's National/Regional/Local Initiatives (Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Outreach) and encourage their participation in OSHA's initiatives and the rulemaking process.
• Share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including elements of an effective safety and health management system, and the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
• Develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and communicate such information (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools, and OSHA and the ABC-EPA websites) to employers and workers in the industry.

For any member construction employer who requests services from the OSHA funded free consultation program, those employers will receive priority service from PA OSHA Consultation as resources permit. No cost compliance assistance services can be requested by calling (724) 357-4095 or at www.iup.edu/pa-oshaconsultation.
