AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
OMAHA AREA OFFICE
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
PANHANDLE PUBLIC HEALTH DISTRICT

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Omaha Area Office and Panhandle Public Health District (PPHD) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and PPHD (collectively "Participants"), hereby form an Alliance to provide Panhandle Worksite Wellness Council members and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers by reducing and preventing exposure to fall hazards, heat illness, suicide, grain hazards, and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

This agreement provides a framework and objectives for the Alliance's activities. Alliance Participants also agree to meet the "Fundamental Requirements for OSHA Alliance Program Participants," which are found in paragraph VIII.G of CSP 04-01-003, OSHA Alliance Program, "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 surveys, to evaluate the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In developing this Alliance, Participants recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-Site Consultation Program partners are an integral part of OSHA's 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:

• Share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
• Share information on OSHA's National Initiatives (Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Outreach), and opportunities to participate in initiatives and the rulemaking process.
• Deliver or arrange for the delivery of occupational safety and health educational materials and allow OSHA to participate.
• Develop pathways to communicate information regarding the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards to employers and workers in the industry.

Training and Education

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objective:

• Offer OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at conferences, local meetings, or other events.
• Promote the value of safety and health programs in improving safety performance and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
• Share information to educate employees and employers on workers' rights, including the use of the OSHA complaint process and employers' responsibilities.

OSHA's Alliances provide organizations an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA's initiatives, outreach, communications, training, and education. These Alliances have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and Alliance participants. In entering this Alliance, Participants acknowledge that this agreement is not legally binding. This agreement does not obligate or authorize the expenditure or reimbursement of appropriations or other funds, nor does it require the parties to enter into any contract or other obligations. It does not confer any rights or responsibilities under U.S. law, nor does it limit or restrict the parties from participating in similar activities or arrangements with other entities. This agreement does not limit, supersede, or otherwise affect OSHA's normal operations or decisions in carrying out its statutory and regulatory duties and functions. OSHA's entering an Alliance with an organization does not imply the agency's endorsement or promotion of that organization's products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization will meet one to two times per year to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA team members will include representatives of the Omaha Area Office and any other appropriate offices.

This agreement will be executed in full compliance with all applicable federal laws. It takes effect on the date of signing and will remain in effect for two years. Either signatory may terminate their organization's participation in the agreement for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days' written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with the written concurrence of all signatories.
