The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Denver and Englewood Area Offices and the Rocky Mountain Education Center at Red Rocks Community College (RMEC) continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and RMEC hereby renew the Alliance signed March 9, 2010, March 12, 2012 and renewed June 9, 2014, with a continued emphasis on training and education. Specifically, both organization(s) are committed to providing RMEC constituents 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 a variety of general industry and construction hazards for establishments in Colorado. 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 RMEC recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and On-site 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.
