The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) and Human Resources
Division (HRD) hereby renew the Alliance agreement signed on September 19, 2006.
OSHA, DOS and HRD continue to recognize the value of collaborative efforts to
achieve workplace safety. OSHA, DOS and HRD remain committed to cooperative and
proactive efforts to advance workplace safety and health. In renewing this
Alliance, OSHA, DOS and HRD recognize that OSHA's State Plan and Consultation
Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
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.
In addition, the implementation team will continue to meet on a regular schedule
to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals
of the Alliance. OSHA will afford the opportunity for representatives of the
Occupational Safety and Health State Plan Association and the association of
state Consultation Projects to participate as well.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years from the date of signing and
will automatically be renewed annually thereafter. This agreement may be
modified at any time with the concurrence of both signatories and may be
terminated for any reason with 30 days written notice from either signatory.
