Alliance participants also agree to meet the “Fundamental Requirements for OSHA Alliance Program Participants” and the “Guidelines for OSHA’s Alliance Program Participants: Alliance Products and Other Alliance Projects”.

• Promote ACCNJ Safety Day in conjunction with Construction Safety Week and OSHA’s Stand Down to Prevent Falls in Construction. Participating Association members will place a special, coordinated emphasis on safety in a variety of ways aimed at promoting the importance of safety in all aspects of the construction industry, including raising public awareness about using caution when traveling around all construction work zones and to refocus the attention of workers on the key elements of staying safe while on the job.
• Promote Youth Worker Safety through joint participation in Construction Industry Career Day (CICD).  Alliance participants in conjunction with construction industry trade and labor partners present this two-day event.  Primarily attended by 11th and 12th grade high school and vocational/technical school students interested in occupations in the construction industry’s skilled craft work, the event provides hands-on activities within many of the trades.
• Promote awareness of worker mental health challenges, and available resources.  Recognizing the ongoing crisis of suicide among construction workers, which continues to claim too many lives, the participants are committed to prioritizing worker well-being and mental health.
