AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
BRAINTREE AREA OFFICE
AND
ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS, INC
MASSACHUSETTS CHAPTER
AND
GOULD CONSTRUCTION INSTITUTE |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Associated Builders and Contractors
Massachusetts Chapter (ABCMA) and Gould Construction Institute (GCI) recognize the value of
establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces.
OSHA, ABCMA, and GCI hereby form an Alliance to provide ABC members and GCI students and others with
information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees’
health and safety. The Alliance will focus on reducing and preventing exposure to hazards associated
with the construction industry, but not limited to, struck-by, caught between, falls, electrical,
noise, and silica. In developing this Alliance, OSHA, ABCMA and GCI recognize that OSHA’s
Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
ABCMA and GCI will work together with OSHA to achieve the following outreach and communication
goals:
- Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including electronic
assistance tools and links from OSHA’s, ABCMA and GCI’s Web sites.
- Speak, exhibit or appear at OSHA’s, ABCMA or GCI’s conferences, local meetings, or other events
- Encourage ABCMA and GCI to build relationships with OSHA’s Regional and Area Offices to address
hazards associated with the construction Industry.
OSHA’s Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative
relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication and
promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have proved to be
valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a
party, OSHA is not endorsing any of that party’s products or services; nor does the Agency enter
into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party’s products or services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of the organizations will meet to develop a plan
of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the
participants. In addition, they will meet as deemed necessary by both parties to track and share
information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will encourage
OSHA Consultation Projects’ participation on the team.
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 concurrence of all signatories.
