3. Results

   The alliance raises the awareness level of ASSE members throughout the state of Montana about OSHA enforcement activity and major hazards in the long term general and construction industry, as well as compliance assistance resources available at the OSHA area offices. Particular emphasis this year has been placed on communicating information about enforcement and expectations related to OSHA's emphasis for record keeping and event reporting along with silica in construction. Additionally, during enforcement inspections in the construction industry in Montana, OSHA has observed a consistent level of compliance with the standards. This may have to do with the extensive, shared networking between ASSE, MCCF, MonDaks and the Montana Contractor Association. By encouraging inter alliance networking it allows other alliance members to share ideas with the ASSE and vice versa.

   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.
