Overview: The Partnership between OSHA and the Kansas Contractors
Association (KCA) encourages participants to develop and/or enhance their safety and health
management systems. The Partnership also targets the four major construction hazards: falls,
electrocutions, caught between/struck by, and trenching and excavation. The goal is to increase the
number of construction companies that implement effective safety and health management systems as
well as develop criteria for a model contractor safety and health management system.
Results: This Partnership has facilitated dialog between OSHA, the Kansas
Contractors Association, and its member contractors. As a result, OSHA now has an avenue to perform
outreach and education on subjects such as record keeping and highway work zone safety.
Training sessions were conducted in 2005 which affected 503 employees and 139 supervisors/managers.
The training sessions covered confined space, excavation, aerial lift, fall protection, and scaffold
training in addition to OSHA 500 and 510 courses.
In 2005, a total of 2980 self-inspections were performed, uncovering 2050 hazards/violations that
were corrected/abated.
The Partnership participants' total case rate was reduced from 6.42 in 2001, the first year of the
Partnership, to 4.5 in 2004 which is below the baseline rate of 5.21. Also, the days away rate
reduced from 4.36 in 2002 to 1.23 in 2004. The total case and days away three-year rates are both
below the BLS National Averages for 2004. |

Overview: Recognizing that the masonry industry is one of the largest
users of scaffolding, this Partnership has a strong focus on fall hazards, as well as electrical
hazards, caught-between and struck by injuries, and trenching and excavation operations.
Participants are recognized for their safety and health accomplishments, and work together with the
union and Association to reduce illnesses and injuries by 10% during this three-year agreement. This
Partnership will develop an outreach program where the criteria for a ‘model’ company is developed,
and qualifying companies will mentor smaller contractors or those needing assistance with their
safety and health management systems.
Results: During the final year of the initial 3-year agreement period,
which ended on July 15, 2006, the Partnership impacted 8 employers and 400 active employees. For the
full 3-year period, the total case rate was 7.1, down slightly from the baseline established for
this partnership. Significantly, the DART rate (days away, restricted, job transfer) was down 14.8%,
exceeding the 10% reduction that was a Partnership goal. In recognition of the benefits achieved
during the Partnership, the partners undertook renewal talks and signed a 3-year renewal agreement
on March 1, 2007. |

Overview:
The purpose of this Partnership is to develop a St. Louis construction industry/labor/government
collaboration that will encourage contractors in the city to improve their safety and health
performance, assist them in their efforts, and recognize contractors with exemplary safety and
health management systems. Five organizations around the St. Louis area have signed up for this
effort. Ultimately, the Partnership will focus on the four most common hazards in the construction
industry: falls, electrocutions, caught-between and struck-by injuries, and crushed-by-trenching
and excavation operations.
Results: In 2005, the partnership impacted 9
employers and 1488 employees. 51 training sessions were provided to 419
employees and 46 supervisors, totaling almost 3,000 hours. The partnership
achieved a TCIR rate of 1.8, well below the BLS National Average of 6.4. A DART
rate of 1.1 was achieved, well below the BLS National Average rate of 3.4. Both
TCIR and DART rates reduced almost 50% since the inception of the partnership.
In recognition of the benefits achieved during the Partnership, the partners
decided to renew the partnership and signed a 3 year renewal agreement October
5, 2006. |

The partnership, with 21 active participants at time of its second renewal, encourages contractors
to voluntarily improve their safety and health performance by implementing effective safety and
health management systems and effective safety and health training programs for management,
supervisors, and employees. The goal of fatality, injury and illness reduction focuses on falls,
struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocutions at construction sites; and amputations, cuts,
lacerations or punctures, lockout/tagout hazards, and machine guarding at the participants’
fabrication shops.
Results: The Days Away (DART) rate decreased 15.3% and the Total
Recordable Injury Case Rate (TCIR) decreased 26.4% for the period 2003-2005 for the group of 22
contractors. In addition, the 2005 TCIR for the group was 32.5% below the BLS average rate for the
construction industry. For calendar year 2005, there were no fatalities and only 52 lost-time
accidents out of 12,539,883 manhours worked. |

Overview: The goal of this residential construction partnership between
the Home Builders Association of Greater St. Louis and the St. Louis and Kansas City, MO Area
Offices is to reduce the number and severity of injuries, illnesses and fatalities affecting
participating contractors resulting from falls, struck-by, caught-in/between and electrocution
hazards. It is also anticipated that there will be an increase in the number of participating
members/employers who implement effective safety and health programs.
A key goal will be to help business develop safety and health programs that involve employers and
workers in identifying and controlling hazards before they result in injuries. Under the terms of
the partnership, contractors will put safety and health programs into action that require fall
protection when employees perform work that is more than six feet above the lower level. The
safety programs will enable workers and supervisors to recognize and abate safety and health
hazards before work begins. Contractors must conduct regular job site inspections and train all
workers on typical residential construction hazards. |

Partnership Agreement |
|
|
Overview: In recognition of the importance of providing a safe and
healthful work environment for employees in long-term care facilities and the need to implement a
comprehensive program for safety and health for the long-term care community and the value of
employers, employees, safety/risk management, mentors, professional associations and the
government in bringing their respective skills to bear in a cooperative, focused, and voluntary
effort to promote worker safety and health, the St. Louis Area Office and Kansas City Area Office
of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, the Missouri
On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Service, and Health Systems, Inc., agree to the joint
implementation of this OSHA Partnership Agreement.
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data revealed that “Nursing and Residential Care Facilities” had
a total recordability injury and illness rate (TCIIR) of 9.1 and a Days Away, Restricted, and
Transfer (DART) rate of 5.7 for 2005. The TCIIR is nearly twice the national average for all
private-sector employers (4.6 in 2005), and over twice the nationwide DART rate (2.4). The
partners and stakeholders agree that injuries caused by resident transfers and workplace violence
related to resident aggression are two of the primary causes of injuries responsible for high
injury and illness rates in their workplaces. Long-term care facilities also find that they have
difficulty attracting and retaining employees. Although there are many factors that may contribute
to this situation, it is thought that improving the overall safety and health working conditions,
with adequate employee participation, may also improve the high turnover rate associated with
nursing homes.
The goal of this partnership is to reduce total case injury and illness rates (TCIIR) and Days
Away, Restricted, and Transferred (DART) rate by 10% at the end of the 3-year period. |
