OSHA is committed to providing outreach and assistance to
help employers proactively address safety and health issues in the workplace. To facilitate this effort
OSHA is seeking OSHA Strategic Partnership Program (Partnership) success stories
to post on its Partnership Webpage. We are looking for submissions from
participating partners that have implemented successful safety and health
practices. Generally, the success stories are 1-2 pages long and follow a
standard format. Information provided should cover background on the
Partnership, anecdotal or statistical evidence of safety and health improvements
related to implementation of Partnership requirements and objectives and/or
information on how the need for a new or improved process or procedure was
addressed and implemented, including any obstacles (e.g., cost, employee
resistance). Success stories should show your results and your measure(s) of
success (e.g., lower injury rates, higher productivity, higher morale, lower
insurance costs).
The process for submission would require little of your time and is as follows:
- The employer or partner(s) should contact OSHA
after identifying a success story that they would like to share.
- The employer or partner’s contact information
will be assigned to a contractor who will interview the organization about
their success. A draft will be produced in the approved format.
- After review and approval by the employer or
partner, the success story will be finalized and submitted for posting to the
website.
We know that many employers and partners have undertaken projects that have
greatly reduced the risk of injury to their employees. Sharing these successful ideas and practices
can help reduce hazards in more workplaces. Please submit your ideas and view the website often to
see if someone has posted a process that you can use in your workplace. If you have a success story
that you would like to share, please send it to
Danielle Gibbs.
