AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE ASSOCIATION OF ENERGY SERVICE COMPANIES

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC) agree to renew the Alliance agreement signed March 30, 2005. OSHA and AESC continue to recognize the value of collaborative efforts to achieve workplace safety. Both groups will encourage AESC members and others in the well site services industry to increase employee access to safety and health information and training resources. The Alliance will particularly focus on reducing and preventing exposure to hand and back hazards. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and the AESC recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.

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

• Work with OSHA to provide the 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 AESC’s Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
• Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s or AESC’s conferences, local meetings, or other industry related events such as annual AESC Tradeshow and Conference.
• Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding AESC best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by AESC and through OSHA- or AESC-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars and lectures.
• Encourage AESC chapters and member company worksites to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues such as hand and back hazards.

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

• Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions, or stakeholder meetings on workplace safety issues such as hand and back hazards for well site services employees to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.

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, Directorate of Enforcement Programs and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States’ and OSHA Consultation Projects’ participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Either party of this Alliance 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 parties.

AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE ASSOCIATION OF ENERGY SERVICE COMPANIES

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and the AESC hereby form an Alliance to provide AESC members and others in the well site services industry with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees’ health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to hand and back hazards.

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

• Work with OSHA to provide the 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 AESC’s Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
• Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s or AESC’s conferences, local meetings, or other industry related events such as annual AESC Tradeshow and Conference.

OSHA and American Shipbuilding Association (ASA) Alliance
Close-out Report

On July 15, 2003, OSHA and ASA formed an Alliance to use their collective expertise to advance a culture of injury and illness prevention while sharing best practices and technical knowledge in the areas of shipbuilding and ship repair practices. The Alliance was renewed on January 13, 2006 and August 22, 2007.

Because OSHA is working with ASA, the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP), and the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) to sign one shipbuilding group Alliance that will address the same goals and topic areas, the organizations agreed to conclude the Alliance as of September 13, 2010. A number of successes resulted from the Alliance, including:

• ASA worked with NSRP, SCA, American Industrial Hygiene Association and the American Society of Safety Engineers to develop a series of safety alerts focusing on safety issues in shipyard employment:

  • Safety Alert: Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout Procedures in Shipyard Employment
  • Safety Alert: Electrocution and Shock Hazards in Shipyard Employment
  • Safety Alert: Welding and Other Hot Work Procedures in Shipyard Employment
  • Safety Alert: Ventilation Procedures in Shipyard Employment

• ASA reviewed and provided feedback on a number of OSHA-developed products, including a Safety and Health Information Prevention Sheet focusing on rigging and "Tool Box Talks: Hearing Conservation in the Shipbuilding Industry."

• ASA reviewed and provided feedback on the confined space flashpoint outreach document developed by the OSHA and the Gulf Coast Maritime Safety Association Alliance in Region IV.

• ASA representatives serve on the Editorial Board for the OSHA Maritime Industry and Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Safety and Health Topics page's and the Shipyard Employment eTool. The pages received 43,646 visits in Fiscal Year 2008.

• ASA supported North American Occupational Safety and Health Week in 2008 and 2009.

• ASA representative delivered a presentation focusing on safety and health issues of employees in small and medium-sized shipyards during the OSHA Small Business Forum: "Safety and Health Issues in the Maritime Industry," at the Department of Labor on September 14, 2007 in Washington, DC.

ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE PROGRAM AMBASSADOR RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
ALTEC INDUSTRIES, INC.

Since entering into an Alliance on November 22, 2005, with subsequent renewals on December 18, 2007, June 14, 2012, and December 1, 2015, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) 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 Altec 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 Altec by:

• Providing routine communication on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
• Sharing invitations to, and offering opportunities to speak at, the OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Offices, 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 Altec’s status as an Alliance Program Ambassador on the agency’s public webpage.

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

• Sharing information with 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 stakeholders on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
• Encouraging stakeholders 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 Altec 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 conferences, local meetings, or other 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. By entering into this Ambassador relationship, OSHA is not endorsing or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of Altec’s products or services.

This Ambassador relationship will remain in effect for the duration of an on-going 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.

Signed this 9th day of June, 2020.

   Products:

   AAOS is working with two other Alliance Program participants, ACOEM and AIHA, to develop a definition of upper-extremity work relatedness for use in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders.

3. Results

   AAOS has demonstrated its commitment to improving workplace safety and health through implementing innovative programs and its willingness to work cooperatively with other Alliance Program participants. The AAOS Implementation Team met several times and identified several possible short-term and long-term projects for the team to work on during its first year. The Academy is committed to providing ongoing support to OSHA offices by supplying expertise through their participation on OSHA's Safety and Health Topics pages' editorial boards for Construction Motor Vehicle Safety and Motor Vehicle Safety. The knowledge that the AAOS members contribute is helping to increase the value of these pages for safety and health professionals and the public.

   The implementation team agreed that OSHA staff and others would benefit from presentations by AAOS members on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). As a result, a several AAOS members provided a half-day seminar on workplace ergonomics to OSHA staff and Alliance Program participants on May 30, 2003, in Washington, D.C. The seminar was added as a second day to AAOS' Occupational Safety and Worker Compensation Committee. AAOS members who gave presentations included Professor Stanley Bigos, M.D.; Robert H Haralson III, M.D., MBA; Barry P. Simmons, M.D.; and Jon B. Tucker, M.D. Over 30 attendees including representatives from several Alliances and OSHA's Directorate of Enforcement Programs, Directorate of Science Technology and Medicine, and Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs heard AAOS presenters discuss a variety of issues affecting workplace MSDs.

   Speaking and exhibiting opportunities that have occurred as a result of the Alliance are invaluable to both organizations as was proven in 2003. Dr. Peter Amadio of the Mayo Clinic of Medicine and an AAOS member, gave a presentation entitled, "The Evidence for Repetitive Microtrauma as a Factor in the Etiology of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Study of the Subsynovial Connective Tissue" at the NACE Research Symposium held January 27-28, 2004. NACE convened the symposium to hear new and relevant research data from ergonomics experts to help it make recommendations to advance OSHA's agenda of reducing the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace. Additionally, AAOS' participation at the Second Annual OSHA Compliance Assistance Conference in June 2003 showed that the association is willing to meet OSHA representatives and be available to talk frankly about safety and health issues in the workplace.

4. Upcoming Milestones

   AAOS has several projects planned for the upcoming year. AAOS will continue to work closely with ACOEM and AIHA to lay the foundation for developing guidance on upper extremity MSDs. They have developed a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) that outlines the responsibilities of each of the three Alliance Program participants. They will finalize the MOU when they have raised sufficient funds to begin working on the project.

   AAOS plans to host a second ergonomics meeting on May 14, 2004 for OSHA staff and Alliance Program participants. AAOS plans to change the format to include participation by other Alliance Program participants. AAOS would like the ergonomics roundtable to provide the opportunity for other Alliance participants talk about the ergonomic projects they are working on and network with one another. The roundtable will follow a meeting of AAOS' Occupational Health and Workers Compensation Committee.

   The implementation team plans to develop a generic back-to-work reporting form that physicians across the country can use. A doctor who is treating an injured worker may have to provide the worker's employer with a back-to-work form that specifies any limitations on the worker's ability to perform his or her job. Currently, back-to-work reporting forms vary from state to state in the information that they require and whether or not they are mandatory. AAOS plans to survey the states through its members and identify what information should go into a generic form for use by all states.

   AAOS is committed to providing expertise and input on OSHA publications and resources, including existing OSHA Safety and Health Topics pages such as Construction Motor Vehicle Safety and Motor Vehicle Safety. AAOS also has agreed to work with other Alliance Program participants to help with the development of a new Motor Vehicle Safety eTool. The Academy also has offered to provide a medical review OSHA's library of ergonomics success stories.

   The implementation team is committed to working together to identify additional venues to promote the Alliance through speaking and exhibiting opportunities such as OSHA's 2004 Compliance Assistance Training Sessions, to be held June 14-18, 2004, in Falls Church, Virginia, and AAOS' 72nd Annual Meeting, to be held in February 2005, in Washington, DC.

AGREEMENT TO RENEW THE ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
AIR CANADA, AIRTRAN AIRWAYS, ALASKA AIRLINES, AMERICAN AIRLINES,
ATA AIR LINES, AMERICA WEST AIRLINES, CONTINENTAL AIRLINES,
DELTA AIR LINES, JETBLUE AIRWAYS, MIDWEST AIRLINES,
SOUTHWEST AIRLINES, UNITED AIRLINES, US AIRWAYS AND
THE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT SECTION OF THE NATIONAL SAFETY
COUNCIL

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and "The Airline Group" comprised of Air Canada, AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, ATA Airlines, America West Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, Midwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, and in affiliation with the International Air Transport Section of the National Safety Council, recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful workplaces. OSHA and The Airline Group therefore agree to renew the Alliance, signed on November 12, 2002, to use their collective expertise to help advance a culture of prevention while sharing best practices and technical knowledge, especially in the area of ergonomics. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and The Airline Group recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.

OSHA and The Airline Group agree to establish an Alliance addressing ergonomic issues related to the handling of passenger checked baggage through exploring methods of promoting training and education, outreach and communication, and continuing the national dialogue on workplace safety and health.

OSHA and The Airline Group will work together to achieve the following training and education goal:

• Continue the development of an industry training manual (referred to as a training module in the Alliance signed 11/12/02), with OSHA input, for employees on the handling of checked baggage and make it available, without charge, to the aviation industry, OSHA, and other interested parties.

OSHA and The Airline Group will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:

• With OSHA's input, commence development of an industry Awareness/Education Program for passengers, including, for example, a "Fact Sheet" with suggestions on how to pack baggage so it is easier to handle while traveling.
• Define the process for interested parties to participate with and obtain information about the Alliance, including, for example, a process for providing feedback and comments.
• Work with OSHA to provide expertise on the periodic review and update of OSHA's Baggage Handling eTool and the Airline Industry Safety & Health Topics page.

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

• Conduct a design consultation/seminar with and disseminate information to airports, manufacturers, and other interested parties to share information about, and promote consideration of, ergonomic issues related to airport design.
• Educate interested parties on and solicit ideas for improvement of ergonomics associated with the handling of checked baggage during a national safety related conference, such as the National Safety Council's National Safety Congress and Exposition.

OSHA Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in voluntary cooperative relationships with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication, and promoting national dialogue on workplace safety and health. The Alliances have proven 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 OSHA enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party’s products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of all organizations will meet to develop a plan of action to accomplish the above goals, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. In addition, the implementation team will meet at least quarterly to track and share information on activities and progress in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will also encourage State Plan States’ and OSHA Consultation Projects’ participation on the team.

This agreement will remain in effect for one year from the date of signing. Once the above goals have been met or at the end of one year, whichever comes first, representatives of all organizations will meet to review the Alliance and consider additional goals. This agreement may be modified at any time with the concurrence of all signatories and may be terminated by any individual signatory for any reason with 30 days written notice to the other signatories, provided such termination shall be effective only with respect to the terminating party.
