AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE ILLINOIS LANDSCAPE CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR'S OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION CHICAGO NORTH AREA OFFICE |
|
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association (ILCA) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful workplaces within the state of Illinois. OSHA and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association hereby form an Alliance to provide ILCA 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 the most commonly identified general industry, construction, and agriculture-related hazards faced by this industry. Included among these hazards are construction, chemical (hazard communication), confined space, woodworking machinery, mechanical power transmission apparatus, inadequate guarding of portable powered tools, and inadequate use of personal protective equipment. OSHA and the ILCA will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:
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 quarterly to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will encourage OSHA Consultation Projects' participation on the team. This agreement will remain in effect for eighteen months from the date of signing. Either 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 both signatories. ______________________________________________ Diane Turek, Area Director Chicago North Area Office Occupational Safety and Health Administration ______________________________________________ Patricia Cassady, Executive Director Illinois Landscape Contractors Association ______________________________________________ Charles Shields, Area Director Aurora Area Office ______________________________________________ Gary Anderson, Area Director Calumet City Area Office ______________________________________________ Peggy ZWeber, Area Director Peoria Area Office Signed March 8, 2004 |
