AGREEMENT RENEWING AN
ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (OSHA)
AND
PRINTPACK, INC.
GLOBAL LOCATIONS
AND
TEXAS ENGINEERING EXTENSION SERVICE (TEEX)
OSHA TRAINING INSTITUTE SOUTHWEST EDUCATION CENTER |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Printpack, and TEEX
recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful
American workplaces. OSHA, Printpack, and TEEX hereby form an Alliance to provide members and others
with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees’
health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to workplace hazards involved with
the production of packaging for food, personal care and pet products. In developing this Alliance,
OSHA, Printpack, and TEEX recognize that the State Plan of OSHA and Consultation Project partners are
an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
OSHA, Printpack, and TEEX will work together to achieve the following training and education goals:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to develop training and education programs designed to reduce
workplace accidents at a multinational employer with operations in Region VI, Mexico, and the United
Kingdom and to provide expertise in communicating such information to employers and employees in the
industry.
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise to evaluate online safety training programs for
Spanish-speaking employees, for use in both the U.S. and Mexico.
OSHA, Printpack and TEEX will work together to achieve the following outreach and
communication goals and goals related to promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of
workplace hazards such as hazardous communication, knife safety and lifting, and to provide
expertise in developing ways of communicating information through print and electronic media such as
electronic assistance tools and the OSHA, Printpack, and TEEX web sites to employers and employees
in the industry.
- Exhibit or speak at OSHA, Printpack, and TEEX conferences, local meetings, or other state,
regional and national events.
- Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding
Printpack best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by Printpack
and TEEX, and through OSHA.
- Promote and encourage Printpack worksites’ participation in OSHA’s cooperative programs such as
compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Programs, and the Consultation Program and its
Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.
OSHA Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary
cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication,
and promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have proven to be
valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance, OSHA, Printpack,
and TEEX are not endorsing any of the other party’s products or services; nor does the Agency (OSHA)
enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party’s products or services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of both organizations will meet to develop a plan
of action, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the
participants. In addition, they will meet at least three times per year to track and share
information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. Team members will
include representatives of OSHA’s Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs and any other
appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States’ and OSHA Consultation Projects’
participation on the team.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years. Any signatory may terminate it for any reason at
any time, provided they give 30 days written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with
the concurrence of all signatories.
