AGREEMENT TO RENEW AN ALLIANCE between THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REGION 3 and PROPERTY CASUALTY INSURERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCIAA) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and PCIAA hereby form an Alliance to provide PCIAA members, as well as the small business community, with information and access to training resources that will address machine, electrical, and fall hazards and safety and health management systems for small businesses. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and PCIAA recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort. OSHA and PCIAA will work together to achieve the following training and education goals: PCIAA will provide expertise to OSHA to develop a variety of occupational safety and health training and education seminars targeted to small businesses that include, but are not limited to, lockout/tagout, machine guarding, and fall protection. OSHA and PCIAA will deliver training that emphasizes risk management and safety and health management systems for small businesses. OSHA and PCIAA will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals: Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such information to employers and employees in the industry. Promote and encourage PCIAA’s member participation in OSHA’s cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Program, Consultation, and the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program. OSHA’s 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 proved to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into this Alliance, OSHA is not endorsing any particular product or service; nor does the Agency enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party’s products or services. By entering into this Alliance, PCIAA is not providing direct advice to any participant in any of the seminars or programs developed and presented by the Alliance. An implementation team made up of OSHA Region 3 and PCIAA representatives 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 quarterly to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. This agreement will remain in effect for one year. 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.     Marie A.
