AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) recognize the value of continuing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and Dow hereby renew their Alliance originally signed on January 13, 2003 and renewed on May 26, 2004, and May 12, 2006 to further enhance a culture of prevention while sharing proven practices and technical knowledge in the areas of, but not limited to, process safety management, safety and health management systems, emergency preparedness, and employee wellness programs. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and Dow recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.

OSHA and Dow will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:

• Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA's and Dow's Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.

• Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding Dow's best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by Dow and through OSHA- or Dow-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).

• Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.

OSHA and Dow will work together to achieve the following goals related to promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:

• Develop and disseminate case studies illustrating the business value of safety and health and publicize their results.

• Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.

OSHA's Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication and promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have proved to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a party, OSHA is not endorsing any of that party's products or services; nor does the Agency enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party's products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of both organizations will meet to develop a plan of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. In addition, they will meet at least three times per year to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. Team members will include representatives of OSHA's Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States' and OSHA On-site Consultation Projects' participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Either 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 concurrence of both signatories.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and Dow therefore agree to form an Alliance to use their collective expertise to further enhance a culture of prevention while sharing proven practices and technical knowledge, including, but not limited to, the areas of process safety management (PSM) and ergonomics. This is an essential component of OSHA's desire to partner with stakeholders, and Dow's commitment to Responsible Care™ and Dow's new 12 Point Operating Plan for Sustainable Development.

OSHA and Dow agree to establish an Alliance to promote safe and healthful working conditions in the United States by:

• Sharing information and guidance with employers that will help them protect employees' health and safety, addressing such issues as PSM and preventing and minimizing exposure to musculoskeletal hazards.

• Assisting employers who may benefit from mentoring or guidance in developing, implementing, or improving safety and health programs including, but not limited to, PSM and ergonomics.

OSHA and Dow will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:

• Develop and disseminate information on effective elements of safety and health programs at conferences, events, or through print and electronic media.

• Gain a better understanding of the diversity of methods and processes for addressing health and safety challenges in the workplace. Develop ways for communicating effective approaches including cross-training, job aids, and usability studies.

• Provide OSHA with opportunities, where appropriate and agreeable to both parties, to experience hands-on information sharing in Dow's facilities to "test run" ideas and to gain a better understanding for real world impact and applications.

OSHA and Dow will work together to achieve the following goals related to promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:

• Encourage Dow worksites, and personnel to act as industry liaisons and resources for OSHA's cooperative programs and Compliance Assistance Specialists.

• Seek opportunities to participate in stakeholder groups and other forums for providing input into the development of safety and health standards and guidance for the chemical industry.

• Identify and enhance methods and processes to evaluate the effectiveness of the Alliance and to encourage the continuous improvement of workplace health and safety practices and communication.

• Share information on proven practices of Dow worksites with others in industry through outreach directly by Dow and also through OSHA.

• Work together to develop new approaches and practices to address health and safety risks.

• Share data supporting the solutions to ergonomic hazards developed by Dow, as well as examples of hazard recognition strategies and analytical tools with OSHA and others in the industry to encourage wide implementation. Promote their implementation through print and/or electronic media, promotion at conferences, or other means of reaching out to others in industry.

An implementation team made up of representatives of both organizations will meet to develop a plan of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. In addition, they will meet at least quarterly to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will afford the opportunity for representatives of the Occupational Safety and Health State Plan Association and the association of state Consultation Projects to participate as well.

This agreement will remain in effect for one year from the date of signing and will automatically be renewed annually thereafter. This agreement may be modified at any time with the concurrence of both signatories and may be terminated for any reason with 30 days written notice from either signatory.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE PENNSYLVANIA OSHA CONSULTATION PROGRAM
AND
CLARION UNIVERSITY SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Erie Area Office, Pennsylvania OSHA Consultation Program and Clarion University Small Business Development Center (Clarion University SBDC) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. To that end, OSHA, Pennsylvania OSHA Consultation Program, and Clarion University SBDC (herein after referred to collectively as “the Participants”) hereby form an Alliance to provide small businesses with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to occupational safety and health hazards, and understanding 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 will summarize specific activities and timeframes for completion in a written work plan.

Through the Alliance, the organizations will use relevant 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 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Alliance and measure the impact of its overall effort to improving workplace safety for employers and workers. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and Clarion University SBDC recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project 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 of OSHA's Rulemaking and Enforcement Initiatives

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives related to raising awareness of OSHA’s rulemaking and enforcement initiatives, as resources permit:

• To share information on OSHA's National/Regional/Local Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, and opportunities to participate in the rulemaking process.
• To share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.

Training and Education

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

• To assist in the development of effective training and educational programs for small businesses and others regarding workplace hazards within the construction and general industry sectors and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
