SPRINGFIELD AREA OFFICE
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
ASSOCIATED SUBCONTRACTORS OF MASSACHUSETTS

Since entering into an Alliance on February 3, 2005 with subsequent renewal(s) on January 20, 2007 and February 21, 2018, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Boston Area Office South, Boston Area office North, and the Springfield Area Office and ASM have worked together to improve workplace health and safety by sharing information, guidance, and access to training resources that address occupational hazards, and promoting understanding of the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

OSHA and ASM continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to improve safety and health practices and programs in American workplaces and commit to continue their work together through an Alliance Program Ambassador relationship.

In recognition of this ongoing commitment, OSHA will continue to foster an active relationship with ASM by:

  • Providing routine communications on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
  • Sharing invitations to and offering opportunities to speak at OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Office, and the National Alliance Program Construction Roundtable and Forum.
  • Engaging in information sharing and technical discussions, as appropriate, including completing special projects of mutual interest that align with agency priorities and as resources allow.
  • Maintaining the organization's status as Alliance Program Ambassador on the agency's public webpage.

ASM will continue to foster an active relationship with OSHA by:

  • Sharing information with members on OSHA's National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach) and encouraging their participation in OSHA's outreach initiatives and rulemaking processes.
  • Sharing information with members on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
  • Encouraging ASM worksites to build relationships with OSHA's National, Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues.
  • Sharing information with OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding ASM good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
  • Offering OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at one another's conferences, local meetings, or other Safety Stand-Down events.
  • Adhering to requirements laid out in the Alliance Program Directive regarding the prohibition on promoting or implying the agency's endorsement of their policies, products, or services, including acknowledging that they will not receive any preferential treatment related to any statutory function of the agency.
  • Abiding by all terms and conditions for the use of the Alliance Program logo as specified in OSHA's Guidelines for Use of the Alliance Logo.

OSHA's cooperative programs provide organizations an opportunity to participate in a voluntary, collaborative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA's initiatives, outreach, communication, training, and education. These programs have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and participants. OSHA and ASM acknowledge that this document is not legally binding. This document does not oblige 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 document 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 this relationship with an organization does not imply the agency's endorsement or promotion of that organization's products or services.

This Ambassador relationship 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 the duration of an ongoing cooperative association and a good faith effort by all parties to meet the intent of this document and its underlying policies. Any signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided the terminating signatory gives the other 30 days' written notice.

This agreement provides a framework and objectives for the Alliance's activities. Alliance participants also agree to meet the requirements for program participation laid out in 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 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 member surveys, to evaluate the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and T&T Staff Management Inc., 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.

  • Develop effective training and education programs for contractors to promote understanding of workers' rights, including the use of the OSHA complaint process, and the responsibilities of employers and to communicate such information to workers, employers and stakeholders.

  • Deliver or arrange for the delivery of OSHA 10 Hour Construction and General Industry courses in English and Spanish.

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, communication, training and education. These Alliances have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with an organization, OSHA is not endorsing or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any 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 El Paso Area Office and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plans' and OSHA On-site Consultation programs' participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for three 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 both signatories.

In recognition of this ongoing commitment, OSHA will continue to foster an active relationship with the PBSTEPS by:

  • Providing routine communications on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
  • Sharing invitations to and offering opportunities to speak at OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Office, and the National Alliance Program Construction Roundtable and Forum.
  • Engaging in information sharing and technical discussions, as appropriate, including completing special projects of mutual interest that align with agency priorities and as resources allow.
  • Maintaining the organization's status as Alliance Program Ambassador on the agency's public webpage.

PBSTEPS will continue to foster an active relationship with OSHA by:

  • Sharing information with members and stakeholders on OSHA's National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach) and encouraging their participation in OSHA's outreach initiatives and rulemaking processes.
  • Sharing information with members and stakeholders on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
  • Encouraging PBSTEPS chapters to build relationships with OSHA's National, Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues.
  • Sharing information with OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding PBSTEPS's good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
  • Offering OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at one another's conferences, local meetings, or other PBSTEPS safety and health events.
  • Adhering to requirements laid out in the Alliance Program Directive regarding the prohibition on promoting or implying the agency's endorsement of their policies, products, or services, including acknowledging that they will not receive any preferential treatment related to any statutory function of the agency.
  • Abiding by all terms and conditions for the use of the Alliance Program logo as specified in OSHA's Guidelines for Use of the Alliance Logo.

OSHA's cooperative programs provide organizations an opportunity to participate in a voluntary, collaborative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA's initiatives, outreach, communication, training, and education. These programs have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and participants. OSHA and PBSTEPS acknowledge that this document is not legally binding. This document 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.

This document does not limit, supersede, or otherwise affect OSHA's no1mal operations or decisions in carrying out its statutory and regulatory duties and functions.

This Ambassador relationship 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 the duration of an ongoing cooperative association and a good faith effort by both parties to meet the intent of this document and its underlying policies. Either signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days' written notice.
