In order to educate the public more about the safe use of lubricants, ILMA is currently developing a
Dermatitis Fact Sheet on how to prevent dermatitis while using lubricants. In addition, the group is
developing a Lubricant Fact Sheet that includes safe handling practices for lubricants. Finally,
ILMA is developing a Metalworking Fluids Quick Start Guide for Small Businesses, based on OSHA's
Compliance Assistance Quick Start guide, which will identify common best practices for using
lubricants.
- Promote and encourage ILMA members' participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such as
compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Programs, and Consultation and its Safety and Health
Achievement Recognition Program.
The OSHA and ILMA Alliance Implementation Team has not started work on programs or projects to

hazards through ILMA's product stewardship program--LubeCare®.
The OSHA and ILMA Alliance Implementation Team has not started work on programs or projects to
address this goal.
- Work with other Alliance Program participants on projects on industrial hazards related to metal
working and other health and safety issues that are addressed and developed through the Alliance
Program.
The OSHA and ILMA Alliance Implementation Team has not started work on programs or projects to
address this goal.
- Encourage ILMA member companies to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and Area Offices to

- Raise industry awareness and demonstrate their own commitment to workplace safety and health
whenever ILMA leaders address groups.

issues to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health
issues.
The OSHA and ILMA Alliance Implementation Team has not started work on programs or projects to
address this goal.
- Executive Summary
During the OSHA and ILMA Alliance's first year a productive working relationship was established
between the organizations. OSHA learned more about the lubricants industry and ILMA learned more
about the compliance assistance resources that the Agency has developed.
As a result of staff changes at ILMA and OSHA, the Implementation Team had limited activity in early
2004. During the second half of the reporting period, the Implementation Team met more frequently
and identified products on which to develop.
Currently, ILMA members are in the process of developing several products for OSHA to review and
provide recommendations on in 2005. This includes a Dermatitis Fact Sheet, a Lubricant Fact Sheet
and a Metalworking Fluids Quick Start Guide that is based on OSHA's Compliance Assistance Quick
Start guide. In addition, ILMA included several articles promoting the OSHA-ILMA Alliance in their
monthly publication, Compoundings and their weekly e-Newsletter, FLASHPoint.
Finally, ILMA's Alliance Program Web site is promoted as a model for other Alliances to use when
they create an Alliance Program Web site to post on their Web page.

IV. Upcoming Milestones
The OSHA and ILMA Alliance Implementation Team has discussed a number of activities that will be
undertaken in the upcoming year. ILMA will complete the Dermatitis Fact Sheet, Lubricant Fact Sheet
and the Metalworking Fluids Quick Start Guide, based on OSHA's Compliance Assistance Quick Start
guide, which ILMA will share with OSHA for feedback.
In addition, ILMA will continue to be a member of OSHA's Metalworking Fluids editorial board and
will review and provide comments on the page.
ILMA will be participating in the February 15, 2005 Alliance Program Hazard Communication Roundtable
for hazard communication-related National Alliances. The Roundtable is designed for the hazard
communication-related National Alliances to discuss how they can work together to identify outreach
and compliance assistance projects they would be interested in working on together.
ILMA will invite an OSHA representative to make a presentation on OSHA's cooperative programs and
compliance assistance at its Annual Meeting, October 18 in Orlando, FL.
Finally, ILMA plans to continue to promote OSHA compliance assistance materials and the OSHA-ILMA
Alliance through articles in their monthly publication, Compoundings and their weekly e-Newsletter
FLASHPoint.
