The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Denver and Englewood Area Offices and the Associated Builders and Contractors Rocky Mountain Chapter (ABC) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and the ABC hereby form an Alliance to provide ABC members and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers by reducing and preventing exposure to prevalent safety hazards in the general and construction industries and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

Alliance participants also agree to meet the requirements for program participation laid out in the "Fundamental Requirements for OSHA Alliance Program Participants" and the "Guidelines for OSHA's Alliance Program Participants: Alliance Products and Other Alliance Projects."

Through the Alliance, the organizations will use available injury, illness, and hazard exposure data, when appropriate, to help identify areas of emphasis for Alliance awareness, outreach, and communication activities. The Alliance will also explore and implement selected options, including but not limited to member surveys, to evaluate the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and ABC recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-Site Consultation Program 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.

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objective(s):

• Share information on OSHA's National Initiatives (Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Outreach), and opportunities to participate in initiatives and the rulemaking process.

• Share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.

• Develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and communicate such information (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools, and OSHA and the ABCs websites) to employers and workers.

• Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA and ABCs conferences, local meetings, or other outreach and training activities throughout Colorado. OSHA will provide updates at Chapter meetings as resources allow.

• Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.

• Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding ABCs training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).

• Encourage ABCs to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues, including but not limited to falls, struck-by, electrical, trenching, and heat hazards trending in Colorado.

Training and Education

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives:

• Develop effective training and education programs for ABCs members to share information, guidance, and access to training resources that address occupational hazards and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.

• Develop effective training and education programs for ABCs members to promote understanding of workers' rights, including the use of the OSHA complaint process, and the responsibilities of employers and to communicate such information to workers and employers.

• Deliver or arrange for the delivery of health and safety training to targeted industries in support of OSHA's National/Regional/Local Emphasis Programs.

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.

An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization will meet one to two times per year to discuss the responsibilities of the participants, to share information on activities, and to track results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA team members will include representatives of the Denver and Englewood Area offices and any other appropriate offices.

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 signatories.
