3. Results

   The alliance raises the awareness level of CHCA members throughout the state of Colorado about OSHA enforcement activity and major hazards in the long term care industry, as well as compliance assistance resources available at the OSHA area offices. Historically, OSHA has not had a strong relationship with this organization. The alliance allows us to be more involved and break down barriers with CHCA members while providing them with regular updates on OSHA activity, including strategic plan focus areas, and an opportunity to interface directly with the Colorado CAS's.

   Type of Activity (Conference, Training, Print and Electronic Distribution, etc.)	Number of Individuals Reached or Trained
   Attend Safety Committee Meetings, provide OSHA updates (3 meetings)	20 facility administrators, DON’s, SDC’s, and CHCA executives (60)

   4/14/10 – Enforcement programs training	35
   TOTAL	121

4. Upcoming Milestones

   The alliance concluded on 9/18/10. OSHA did not feel that this alliance was particularly effective during FY 10. The CHCA safety and health committee cancelled many of their meetings over the course of the year and there was an apparent lack of commitment to the alliance by the CHCA. At the conclusion of this alliance, the area offices did not intend to recommend renewal. However, the CHCA has indicated a desire to formally continue this relationship. They have committed additional support for the alliance and we are in the process of discussing a possible alliance renewal.

     Members of DJB Safety were involved in STEPS/OSHA/NIOSH multi gas monitor hazard alert. In January 2018 the members discussed the Multi Gas Monitor Hazard Alert document at length.

4. Results

   The Denver Area Office has worked with this group for many years prior to formalizing the relationship with an alliance in 2013. The Area Director and some CSHO's are familiar to the members and a trusted resource for accurate OSHA information. This alliance will only continue to strengthen that relationship and raise awareness about safety and health hazards in the oil and gas industry among small well drilling and servicing employers. It allows OSHA direct access to a large group of oil and gas contractors within the state and provides an opportunity to address issues of concern to the industry and OSHA.

   Presentations and updates provided at the monthly meetings have a significant impact in delivering a consistent safety and health message to this organization and those that they work with. Companies also share best practices at this forum. The DJ Basin Safety Council is also a member of the National STEPS Network. Additionally, the monthly newsletter promotes many safety and health issues for OSHA. There distribution reaches a majority of the oil and gas industry stakeholders in northern Colorado.

   Type of Activity (Conference, Training, Print and Electronic Distribution, etc.)	Number of Individuals Reached or Trained
   Monthly meetings (9 x 60)	480
   Booth at Oil and Gas Expo 5/22-23/18	250
   Oil and Gas Update presentation at Oil and Gas Expo 5/22/18	35
   Electronic distribution of OSHA info	1000
   TOTAL	1790

5. Upcoming Milestones

   The Denver Area Office and DJB Safety Council will continue to focus on issues relevant to the industry and delivering information in a format conducive to achieving maximum impact to DJ Basin Safety Council members. We will also continue to provide outreach regarding Region VIII's Regional Emphasis Program on oil and gas as well as other national initiatives. It should be noted that Colorado is the 6th most active state for oil and gas development and there were no fatalities since November 2017 in Colorado. This alliance has done an excellent job of providing information to members to reduce serious injuries occurring in the industry.

AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE DENVER AREA OFFICE
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
MOUNTAIN STATES ENERGY ALLIANCE

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Denver Area Office and Mountain States Energy Alliance (MSEA) continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and MSEA hereby renew the Alliance signed August 29, 2013 and August 24, 2015, with a continued emphasis on reducing exposure to hazards in the oil and gas industry. Specifically, both organizations are committed to providing Mountain States Energy Alliance members and others 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 will summarize specific activities and timeframes for completion in a written work plan.

Through the Alliance, the organizations will continue to address hazards identified by OSHA emphasis programs, strategic areas of interest and OSHA campaign efforts. 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.

Raising Awareness of OSHA's Rulemaking and Enforcement Initiatives

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

• To share information on OSHA's National/Regional/Local Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, and 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 OSHA strategic focus hazards, hydrocarbon exposures, fire/explosion, falls, struck by hazards and transportation/driving hazards 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 attending quarterly safety and health implementation committee meetings and training opportunities generated through the alliance.

Training and Education

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

• To assist in the delivery of effective training and education programs for Mountain States Energy Alliance members, including front line employees, regarding safety and health hazards related to oil and gas well servicing operations, and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.

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 MSEA web site) to employers and workers in the industry.
• To develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to develop ways of communicating such information to employers and workers in the industry.
• To speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or MSEA's conferences, local meetings, or other events.
• To share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding MSEA members good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum) developed by the participants.
• To work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects on safety and health in the oil and gas well servicing industry that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.
• To develop and disseminate case studies on various safety and health issues related to oil and gas operations and publicize their results.

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 Denver Area Office and any other appropriate offices.

This agreement will remain in effect for four 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 written concurrence of both signatories.

Signed this 13^th day of November, 2017.
