The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Area Offices in Georgia; the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT); the Georgia Highway Contractors Association (GHCA); the Federal Highway Administration, Georgia Division; the Georgia Utility Contractors Association (GUCA); the Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Occupational Safety and Health Division (GTRI); 3M Corporation (3M); the Associated General Contractors of Georgia, Inc.; Lamar Outdoor Advertising (Lamar); Georgia Power, the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA); Pike Electric, LLC.; the National Safety Council, Georgia Chapter (NSC); and Comcast Cable (hereafter referred to as the Georgia Struck by Alliance) continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and the Georgia Struck by Alliance hereby renew the Alliance signed on December 5, 2006 and renewed March 5, 2013, with a continued emphasis on protecting workers from struck by and work zone hazards.

Specifically, these organizations remain committed to providing employers and employees in the construction industry with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

This renewal agreement provides a framework and objectives for the Alliance's activities. Alliance participants may 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 on improving workplace safety for employers and workers. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and members of the Georgia Struck by Alliance recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.

Raising Awareness of OSHA's Rulemaking and Enforcement Initiatives

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following goal related to raising awareness of OSHA’s rulemaking and enforcement initiatives:

• To convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings addressing successes resulting from this Alliance to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.

Training and Education

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following training and education goals:

• To develop effective training and education programs for employers and employees regarding struck-by hazards and other work zone issues, and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
• To deliver or arrange for the delivery of work zone safety and struck by training courses.

Outreach and Communication

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:

• To develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to develop ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA’s and the Georgia Struck by Alliance member’s Web sites) to employers and employees in the construction industry.
• To speak, exhibit, or appear at Georgia Struck by Alliance member’s conferences, local meetings, or other events.
• To share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding Georgia Struck by Alliance member’s good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum) developed by the participants.

OSHA’s Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA’s rulemaking and enforcement initiatives, training and education, and outreach and communication. 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 or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of that party’s products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization 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 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 OSHA Area Offices in Georgia 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 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.

AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA OFFICE
OF THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR,
THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OSHA CONSULTATION,
AND
LATINO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Oklahoma City Area Office, the Latino Community Development Agency (LCDA), and the Oklahoma Department of Labor OSHA Consultation (OSHA Consultation or ODOL), continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. To that end, OSHA, LCDA, and ODOL (collectively “Participants”) hereby renew the Alliance signed August 20, 2018 to provide LCDA members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers, particularly by reducing and preventing exposure to falls, electrocutions, excavation hazards, struck-by and caught-in-between hazards, and other 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 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, Participants 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 on improving workplace safety for employers and workers. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and LCDA recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners (i.e., ODOL) 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

Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives:

• To share information on OSHA’s National/Regional/Local Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Consultation services, 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.
• To 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.
• To encourage worker participation in workplace safety and health by promoting educational materials and providing a wide-range of safety trainings in Spanish at LCDA to the Hispanic workforce community.
• To develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to develop ways of communicating such information (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools, and OSHA’s and the LCDA’s Web sites) to employers, and workers in the industry and the community at large.
• To speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s, ODOL’s, or LCDA’s conferences, local meetings, health fairs, or other events.
• To share information among OSHA and ODOL personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding LCDA’s various programs benefiting the Hispanic community at large.
• To work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects regarding the Spanish speaking workforce that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.

Training and Education

Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives:

• To develop effective training and education programs for the Hispanic Community including, but not limited to, prevention of heat-related illnesses, fall hazards in construction, electrical hazards, trenching and excavation hazards, and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
• To develop effective training and education programs for the Spanish speaking workforce to promote understanding of workers’ rights, including the use of the OSHA complaint process, OSHA Consultation service, and the responsibilities of employers, and to communicate such information to workers and employers.
• To deliver or arrange for the delivery of the following courses: Fall Protection; Scaffolding; OSHA 10 Hour; Excavations; and Electrical Safety.

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.

The Georgia Advocacy of Concerned Beauty Professionals (GACBP) joins the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), represented by the Atlanta-East, Atlanta-West and Savannah, GA, Area Offices, Georgia Local Section - American Industrial Hygiene Association (GLS-AIHA), the Georgia Chapter - American Society of Safety Engineers (GA-ASSE), the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA), the Georgia Department of Education (GA DOE), the Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Occupational Safety and Health Division (Georgia Tech), and the Southeast Center for Young Worker Safety and Health (hereafter all parties shall be referred to as the Georgia Youth Alliance) in recognizing the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to advance safety and more healthful American workplaces. The GACBP therefore agrees to join the Georgia Youth Alliance to use their collective expertise to help protect employees’ health and safety, particularly youth workers and educators in career/technical education programs throughout Georgia. The GACBP agrees to all of the provisions of the original Alliance signed on June 19, 2006. In amending this agreement all participants recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.

OSHA’s Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA’s rulemaking and enforcement initiatives, training and education, and outreach and communication. 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 or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of that party’s products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization 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. OSHA team members will include representatives of the Atlanta-East, Atlanta-West and Savannah, GA, Area Offices and the Atlanta Regional Office and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States’ and OSHA On-site Consultation Projects’ participation on the team.
