ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE PROGRAM AMBASSADOR RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN
THE NEW YORK CITY REGION
OF THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
AND
THE NEW JERSEY STATE INDUSTRIAL SAFETY COMMITTEE
Since entering into an Alliance on December 13, 2018, with a subsequent renewal on August 16, 2022, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) New York City Region, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJLWD), and the NJ State Industrial Safety Committee (NJSISC) 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, NJLWD, and NJSISC 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 the NJLWD and NJSISC by:
- Providing routine communications on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
- Sharing invitations to and offering opportunities to speak at OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Office, 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 OSHA priorities and as resources allow.
- Maintaining the organizations' status as Alliance Program Ambassadors on the OSHA public webpage.
- Continuing to support the New Jersey Governor's Safety and Health Awards Program, which provides recognition to workplaces that have undertaken efforts to improve their safety and health programs.
NJLWD and NJSISC will continue to foster an active relationship with OSHA by:
- Sharing information with stakeholders and member organizations on OSHA's National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach), and encouraging their participation in OSHA's outreach initiatives, such as the National Safe + Sound Campaign and rulemaking processes.
- Sharing information with stakeholders and member organizations on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
- Encouraging stakeholders and member organizations 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 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 one another's conferences, local meetings, or other events.
- Adhering to requirements laid out in the Alliance Program Directive regarding the prohibition on promoting or implying OSHA'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. OSHA, NJLWD, and NJSISC acknowledge that this document is not legally binding. This document does not obligate or authorize the expenditure or reimbursement of appropriations or other funds, nor does it require the parties to enter into any contract or other obligations. It does not confer any rights or responsibilities under U.S. law, nor does it limit or restrict the parties from participating in similar activities or arrangements with other entities. This document does not limit, supersede, or otherwise affect OSHA's normal operations or decisions in carrying out its statutory and regulatory duties and functions. OSHA's entering this relationship with an organization does not imply the agency's endorsement or promotion of that organization's products or services.
This Ambassador relationship will be executed in full compliance with all applicable federal laws. It takes effect on the date of signing and will remain in effect for the duration of an ongoing cooperative association and a good faith effort by all parties to meet the intent of this document and its underlying policies. Any signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days' written notice. Termination by one signatory will not nullify the Ambassador relationship with all signatories, with the exception of OSHA; OSHA may terminate the Ambassador relationship as a whole, or its relationship with one or more individual signatories.
