The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Atlanta Regional Office and three OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIECs) in the Atlanta Region continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces.

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, OSHA and the OTIECs 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.
