ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
DENVER AND ENGLEWOOD AREA OFFICES OF
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF SAFETY PROFESSIONALS
COLORADO, ROCKY MOUNTAIN, and SOUTHERN COLORADO CHAPTERS

The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Four Corners Chapter joins The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Denver and Englewood Area Offices in Colorado and the ASSP Colorado, Rocky Mountain, and Southern Colorado Chapters in recognizing the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. The ASSP Four Corners Chapter therefore agrees to join the Alliance to use their collective expertise to help protect employees' health and safety, particularly in the reduction and prevention of struck by and work zone hazards. The ASSP Four Corners Chapter agrees to all of the provisions of the original Alliance signed on April 3, 2024.

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.

This agreement will remain in effect for two 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.

Signed this 20th day of November, 2024.
