ALLIANCE
ANNUAL AND CLOSE-OUT REPORT
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
July 29, 2008 |
I. Alliance Background
Date Signed
7/29/03
Overview
OSHA and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) formed the Alliance to
provide an integrated and positive safety and health component for the FHWA’s
Construction Career Days (CCD) program.
Implementation Team Members
Leona J. May, OSHA Bridgeport Compliance Assistance Specialist (CAS)
Anthony Fuschillo, OSHA Hartford CAS
Maryann Medeiros, OSHA Providence CAS
Carol Bates, OSHA Methuen CAS
Jeff Cathcart, T2 Center, University of Rhode Island
Report Period
July 29, 2007 – July 28, 2008
II. Implementation Team Meetings
The primary product of this alliance is OSHA participation in annual
Construction Career Days events in Southern New England. These events are well
established. Therefore, rather than using meetings as a forum to plan,
communication usually takes place and information is exchanged via telephone and
e-mail.
III. Events and Products
Training and Education
OSHA participated in Construction Career Days events in Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island during the reporting period. The Connecticut
offices distributed material on careers with OSHA and discussed construction
safety hazards. The Methuen Office presented a “You be the CSHO” interactive
accident investigation game at the Massachusetts event. Students toured a mock
accident scene to determine the cause and possible violations. The Providence
Office offered “You Be the OSHA Inspector” challenge in the Rhode Island.
Students reviewed projected inspection photographs and identified hazards,
particularly the four high hazards, silica, noise and lead. Providence
distributed “Teen Summer Job Safety” stickers modeled after the national
OSHA2008 teen worker “Build a Safe Work Foundation” campaign. These were used to
remind each teen of his or her right to a safe and healthy workplace. At all of
the events, teen worker booklets and other safety literature were available to
the attendees.
Outreach and Communication
The Construction Career Days events provided a valuable opportunity for OSHA to
network with vocational school instructors.

V. Upcoming Milestones
The Area Offices involved in this alliance will continue to participate in the
annual Construction Career days events; however, it is the consensus of the
offices involved that an alliance is not necessary to this participation and
that the current alliance should be allowed to expire. The Alliance concluded on
July 27, 2008.
