Overview: A major
component of this Partnership is safety hazard awareness training for
state and local police and DOT staffers. The agreement calls for
contract language requiring commitment to safe practices to bid on
state-funded highway work. OSHA provides outreach to contractors and
training to state personnel, and all partners work together to
identify and correct hazards.
Results: Work zone safety conferences were provided to stakeholders. The annual 1-day conference
included training sessions for approximately 300 attendees. The conferences are held for
professionals and contractors. The number of annual attendees continues to grow. |

Overview: Several
major highway construction contractors, unions representing their
employees, and government agencies have partnered to control silica
hazards in the heavy highway construction industry. The primary goals
are to establish comprehensive contract language regarding employee
protection from silica-laden dust, and to increase statewide employer
and employee awareness of silica hazards and control.
Results: Training was provided to employers involved in the
partnership on the hazards of crystalline silica exposure. Training was also provided at
each quarterly meeting of participants. In addition, as a result of the silica
partnership, the Laborers Locals 172 & 472 have developed silica awareness training that
is being provided by the Laborers Union SET Training Centers for their members. |

Overview: In response to the highest injury
rate in the Department of Interior, the Park Service has partnered
with OSHA to improve safety and health management systems and reduce
illness and injury rates. Specific goals/objectives of this
partnership were to: improve the safety and health management systems
at the park; reduce the injury, illness and lost time case rates;
create and maintain positive relationships and effective
communications between the park and the local OSHA Area Office; build
models of excellent safety and health management systems and identify
best practices to foster improvements in worker safety and health at
other parks not covered by the agreement; attain a stronger commitment
to, and awareness of, workplace safety and health by NPS management
and employees; improve relationship between NPS and OSHA at the
national and local levels; and, try to qualify to participate in
OSHA's Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP).
Results: Under this Partnership, 50 employees and 15 supervisors
have been trained by OSHA and the in-house safety director. Much of the training involved
methods of protection against contracting viruses from insects, birds and animals. |

Overview: Associated Builders and Contractors,

(OSHA) have entered into this partnership to provide a safe and
healthful work environment in the construction Industry.
Implementation of this agreement is expected to result in decreased
injuries, illnesses, and fatalities for participant contractors with a
resultant decrease in worker compensation costs. ABC member
construction companies will use the Safety Training and Evaluation
Process, or "STEP" program in evaluating their safety and health
program performance and their safety and health training programs. The
primary goals are to: reduce by 3% annually the number of injuries,
illnesses, and fatalities affecting participant employers, with an
emphasis on reducing injuries and fatalities resulting from falls,
struck-by and caught-in mishaps, and electrocution (focused four
construction hazards); increase the number of construction companies
that implement effective safety programs; decrease worker compensation
costs and OSHA penalties for contractor participants; and, allow OSHA
to focus resources on companies that require attention from OSHA,
rather than companies that have demonstrated existence of effective
safety programs. |

Overview:
Approximately 10 prime contractors and more than 200 subcontractors
are involved in the construction of the new courthouse annex and
rehabilitation of the present courthouse tower. The Partnership goal
is to reduce work-related fatalities and serious injuries by
encouraging contractors to improve safety and health performance. The
Partnership will work to identify institutional safety problems that
can be analyzed and abated, develop criteria for model contractor
safety and health management systems, and make new educational
material available to all participants.
Results: This Partnership's overall safety and health management
system was enhanced in 2003 through improvements to employee
involvement, site hazard identification and abatement, extensive
training on job site hazards, and the use of the expertise offered by
URS Corp's safety and health contractor, which included training on
OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour classes, to foremen and employees. New York
State Consultation provided training on hazard abatement during its
consultation visits. The Partnership conducted 300 self-inspections,
which resulted in the identification and abatement of 500 hazards. |

management systems; and, assist them in obtaining the following objectives:
reduce the number of incidents that have the potential to result in
worker injury/illness, property damage, and environmental impact to the
lowest reasonable level; ensure 100% compliance with project-required
incident prevention activities; attain zero fatalities and zero
exposure of employees to fall hazards greater than 6 feet above a lower
level; attain a project LWDII rate 25% less than the national average
and once attained to further reduce incident rates by 10% per year for
the duration of the project; conduct a gap analysis of all
participating contractors' site-specific safety and health management
systems;
and, foster a sustainable working relationship between the partners and
other entities involved in this project.
