BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
OKLAHOMA CITY AREA OFFICE
THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OSHA CONSULTATION AND
ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS, INC., OKLAHOMA CHAPTER

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Oklahoma City Area Office, the Associated Builders and Contractors, Oklahoma Chapter (ABC) and the Oklahoma Department of Labor OSHA Consultation, continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and ABC hereby renew the Alliance signed June 28, 2019 with a continued emphasis on construction safety. Specifically, all organizations are committed to providing ABC members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Through the Alliance, the organizations will continue to address construction focus four and other construction hazards.

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.” Alliance participants will participate in a state wide Alliance conference call to plan activities to achieve the goals.

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 to member surveys, to evaluate the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and ABC recognize that OSHA’s 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:

• Share information on OSHA’s National/Regional/Local Initiatives (Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Outreach), and opportunities to participate in initiatives and the rulemaking process.
• Share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including 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 websites) to employers and workers in the industry.
• Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA and ABC conferences, local meetings, or other events.
• Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings on construction safety to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues
• Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding ABC’s good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
• Encourage ABC to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues.

Training and Education

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

• Develop effective training and education programs for construction workers regarding construction focus four, heat illness prevention, silica, and other hazards and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
• Develop effective training and education programs for construction workers 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 and employers.

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 ABC and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage and OSHA On-Site Consultation programs’ participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for three years: Any signatory may terminate it 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.

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 Pittsburgh Area Office. OSHA will encourage State Plans' and OSHA On-Site Consultation programs' participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for a period not to exceed five years. Any signatory may terminate it 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.

Signed this 21 day of May, 2021.
