assistance needs for the participants of this alliance. Such assistance, which is provided only at the request of the
employer, may be in the form of onsite or off-site safety and/or health consultations. All consultation findings will be kept
confidential, so long as
employer agrees to correct any serious hazards that may be identified. There are no costs to the employer for the assistance
provided by the NYS Consultation.
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 an Alliance
with a party, OSHA is not endorsing any of that party's products or services; nor does the Agency enter into an Alliance with
the purpose of promoting a particular party's products or services.
An implementation team made up of representatives of all three 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. Annually, at least
two of these meetings will be in person.
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.
