The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Shipbuilding Research
Program (NSRP) hereby renew the Alliance signed on July 15, 2003. OSHA and NSRP continue to
recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful
American shipyards. Both groups are committed to sharing their collective expertise to help advance
a culture of prevention while sharing best practices and technical knowledge. In renewing this
Alliance, OSHA and NSRP 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.
An implementation team made up of representatives of both 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 at least three times per year to track and share
information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will encourage
State Plan States' and OSHA Consultation Projects' participation on the team.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Either 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 both signatories.
