I. Scope/Background
To facilitate OSHA' s goal of reducing occupationally related fatalities by
3% each year, and reducing the total rate of Days Away from Work by 4% each
year, Region III of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
and Continental Building Systems agree to the joint implementation of a
partnership during construction of the 4 million dollar, Christ Temple
Project. The Project plans call for the construction of a new life and
health center consisting of a pre-engineered metal building and an attached
two-story traditional steel/concrete structure. The pre-engineered building
will house a gymnasium and a stage. The first floor of the other building
includes a welcome center, a full-service kitchen and a café. The second
floor has meeting rooms, a work-out facility, aerobic room and a sound room.
The goal of this program is to develop a contractor/government partnership
that will encourage construction contractors to improve their safety and
health performance, assist them in doing that, strive for the elimination of
serious accidents in the construction industry, and recognize those
contractors with exemplary safety and health programs. Under the
partnership, OSHA will provide timely responses to requests for information
and requests for clarification of OSHA standards as resources allow.
This agreement between Continental Building Systems and OSHA is expected to
result in decreased injuries and illnesses and fatalities for the site and
improve existing safety and health programs. It provides incentives to
construction contractors that voluntarily participate in the Christ Temple
Life and Health Center Project Partnership and demonstrate implementation of
effective safety and health programs, for example, technical assistance from
OSHA and opportunities for reductions in penalties. This agreement will not
in any way affect employees' ability to exercise rights under the OSH Act
and OSHA regulations, including walk-around rights.
Therefore, OSHA and Continental Building Systems are entering into this
partnership to foster a safe and healthful workplace for employees by having
joint cooperation as prescribed within the terms and conditions set forth in
this agreement.
II. Identification of Partners
The primary participants in this Partnership are,
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Charleston Area Office (OSHA)
- Continental Building Systems (CBS)
III. Project Overview
Over the life of the project, approximately 15 different subcontractors will
be involved. At the busiest construction period, or at peak construction,
there will be approximately five subcontractors and 50 individual
tradespersons on site.
Work will include all facets of new construction, such as site construction,
excavation work, concrete, structural steel, sheet metal and miscellaneous
metal work, electrical, mechanical/plumbing, masonry, cranes and lifts,
drywall and interior finishes.
IV. Goals, Strategies, Measures
The partnership’s goal is to reduce injuries and illnesses and fatalities
through a cooperative relationship between Continental Building Systems and
OSHA. This goal will be accomplished by implementing and following the plan
outlined below and evaluating these actions as indicated:
- Continental Building Systems will develop, implement and maintain
effective and comprehensive safety and health programs in accordance with OSHA’s 1989 Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines or its
equivalent.
Continental Building Systems agrees to complete a self-audit and an
evaluation of all subcontractors’ safety and health programs in accordance
with OSHA’s 1989 Safety and Health Management Guidelines or its equivalent.
OSHA will evaluate Continental Building Systems and subcontractors’ safety
and health programs prior to and during the OSHA verification inspection
using Appendix B (or equivalent) and will observe whether the safety and
health management systems in place are adequately protecting employees.
- Achieve participant recordable illness and injury rates below the
national average for the construction industry. A partnership goal is to
keep the DART rate (cases with days away from work, job-transfer, or
restriction) below the national average for the most recent year published
for NAICS 236220 (SIC 1542), which was 2.7 for the year 2006. The
partnership goal is to further reduce this level of recordable injuries
annually by at least 5% for the duration of the partnership.
- Over the duration of the project, achieve a Days Away, Restricted or
Transferred Rates (DART) for each participant that is at least 10% below the
respective participant’s average rates for the two years prior to entering
the partnership.
Identify and correct primary causal factors in worker injuries and
illnesses.
Establish systems to identify and correct accidents and near misses.
OSHA will meet at least quarterly with Continental Building Systems to
examine the injury and illness experience of the partnership’s participants
and to make corrections and adjustments as needed.
DART rates and injury and illness experience will be evaluated through
review of the OSHA 300 log and any other relevant accident reports.

will have completed the OSHA 10-hour course for the construction industry
(or its equivalent). Records of training certification will be provided to
Continental Building Systems and made available for review.
- Provide periodic safety-related statistics (man hours worked, lost
workday injuries, accident records and OSHA inspection results). Continental
Building Systems is to provide a summary and analysis for review by OSHA to
track the progress of the partnership in meeting its goals to reduce injury
and illness rates and to prepare an annual report to evaluate the merits of
the partnership.
VII. On-Site Verification Inspection and Benefits
- Verification
In order to assist in measuring the success of this partnership, an initial
onsite
non-enforcement verification inspection will be conducted by OSHA after the
signing of this agreement and annually thereafter in accordance with OSHA‘s
Directive for the Strategic Partnership Program, OSHA Instruction CSP
03-02-002. The onsite non-enforcement verification will consist of a review
of written program elements and an inspection of the work site to assess the
implementation of the partnership agreement. If OSHA identifies serious
hazards that Continental Building Systems refuses to correct, OSHA will make
a referral for an enforcement inspection.
Verifications will be timed and conducted to adequately evaluate employee
exposure to hazards. At a minimum, verifications will be conducted annually
and/or at the conclusion of the partnership.
Employees and/or employee representatives will be provided the opportunity
to be involved in all onsite non-enforcement verification inspections. If
employee and/or employee representatives cannot actively participate in the
site verification inspection, then employee interviews conducted during the
non-enforcement verification audits will be utilized to determine the site’s
progress in meeting the goals and objectives stipulated within this
agreement.
The top causes of injuries and illnesses will be determined by all parties
prior to and during the initial OSHA verification inspection. Corrections
will be identified by all parties and implemented by Continental Building
Systems. Injury and illness incidence in targeted areas will be evaluated
through the OSHA 300 Log and any other relevant accident reports.
Additionally, OSHA will meet with Continental Building Systems quarterly to
review partnership issues and to examine updated DART rates and the injury
and illness experience of Continental Building Systems and its contractors
at this site. OSHA shall provide feedback on any noted incident trends and
patterns.
- Benefits
OSHA will not issue penalties to participating contractors for
other-than-serious violations, provided the violations are immediately
abated. OSHA reserves the right to issue penalties for regulatory violations
for which mandatory penalties are established pursuant to the policy set
forth in the Field Inspection Reference Manual (FIRM).
When calculating initial penalty reductions, OSHA may provide an additional
10% penalty reduction for good faith to participating contractors provided
they have taken steps to adopt into their safety program all of the
provisions of the partnership agreement. This additional reduction will not
apply to high gravity serious, willful, failure to abate or repeat
citations. In cases where a contractor’s total penalty reduction is 100
percent or more, the minimum penalty provisions of OSHA’s FIRM will apply.
VIII. OSHA Inspections
This partnership provides for the immediate response to each allegation of a
safety or health hazard brought to its attention by any person. Upon a
finding that an allegation is valid, the employer shall promptly abate the
hazard.
- Non-formal Complaints:
OSHA agrees that a copy of each non-formal complaint related to work at the
site and filed with OSHA will be forwarded by fax or mail to the Christ
Temple Church Life and Health Center site office. In accordance with
applicable law, the identity of a complainant requesting confidentiality
will not be revealed. Continental Building Systems agrees to investigate
these complaints, regardless of the employer involved and provide OSHA with
a written response as follows:
- non-formal complaints/referrals alleging a hazard: 24 hours
Failure to meet this time frame, or providing a response determined by OSHA
to be inadequate, will place the complaint/referral outside the scope of
this partnership and OSHA will respond as it would to any complaint of a
similar nature.
- Formal Complaints and Other Investigations:
OSHA personnel will continue to conduct programmed inspections and
investigations resulting from formal complaints, referrals, fatalities,
catastrophes, other accidents or significant events. OSHA will also
investigate contractors whose employees are exposed to or are creating plain
view hazards at the partnering worksite. These investigations will be
conducted outside of this partnership agreement in accordance with
established OSHA enforcement policy. Violations documented during such
investigations may result in the issuance of citations and penalties.
IX. Employee Rights
This Partnership does not preclude employees and/or employers from
exercising any right provided under the OSH Act (or, for federal employees,
29 CFR 1960), nor does it abrogate any responsibility to comply with rules
and regulations adopted pursuant to the OSH Act.
X. Leveraging
This partnership seeks to leverage the resources of both Continental
Building Systems and OSHA by encouraging contractors to develop safety and
health programs, implement them in an effective manner, complete self
inspections, and evaluate worksite conditions and near misses to prevent
accidents. By combining resources, OSHA expects to have a greater and more
positive impact on safe working conditions at this site than could be
achieved otherwise.
XI. Evaluation
A joint evaluation of the partnership will be prepared by the partners using
Appendix D at least annually and/or at the conclusion of the partnership.
The evaluation will review the success of the partnership, lessons learned,
and changes that will be made to meet the goals of the partnership.
XII. Termination
This agreement will terminate two years from the date of the signing or upon
completion of the Christ Temple Church Life and Health Center. If either
OSHA or Continental Building Systems wishes to withdraw its participation
prior to the established termination date, the agreement will terminate upon
receiving a written notice of the intent to withdraw from either signatory.
OSHA will terminate the partnership if any employer on site is issued a
citation related to workplace hazards which resulted in a fatality.
XIII. Paperwork Reduction Act:
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
Form Approved
OMB# 1218-0244 Expires 01-31-2009

APPENDIX A
Partnership Fact Sheet
A strategic partnership agreement has been developed jointly by the United
States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Charleston, West Virginia Area Office (OSHA), and Continental Building Systems.
The common objective and goal of the program is to develop a
contractor/government partnership that encourages all construction contractors
to improve their safety and health performance, assist them in doing that,
strive for the elimination of serious accidents in the construction industry,
and to recognize those contractors with exemplary safety and health programs.
The specific impetus behind the agreement is to provide a safe and healthful
work environment for workers engaged in construction activities for the Christ
Temple Church Life and Health Center project.
Expected outcomes of this partnership include: developing criteria for a model
multi-employer worksite safety and health program which specifically identifies
the responsibilities of each subcontractor; making safety and health materials
available to all subcontractors onsite; planning for safety and health in all
aspects of the project; providing visible safety and health leadership;
achieving participant recordable illness and injury rates below the national
average for the construction industry; and focusing OSHA enforcement activity on
those contractors and subcontractors who have little or no regard for the safety
and health of their workers.
The agreement provides incentives to contractors and subcontractors who
voluntarily improve their safety and health performance. Incentives will include
technical assistance from OSHA and consideration for additional penalty
reductions.
This agreement is consistent with OSHA’s long-range effort to develop a
contractor/government partnership approach to safety management. It allows for
better use of OSHA resources and for innovation in safety management, and it
encourages more participation in the safety process by each stakeholder.
