AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION AND HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Health Care Association of New Jersey (HCANJ) recognize the value of continuing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and the HCANJ therefore agree to renew the Alliance, signed on July 11, 2003 to use their collective expertise to help advance a culture of accident prevention while sharing information, guidance, best practices, access to training resources and technical knowledge that will help protect employees’ safety and health. In particular, the Alliance focuses on reducing and preventing exposure to hazards endemic to the long term care industry such as, but is not limited to, tuberculosis, bloodborne pathogens, ergonomic stressors, workplace violence and slips-trips and falls. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and HCANJ recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort. OSHA and the HCANJ will work together to achieve the following training and education goal:
An implementation team made up of representatives of both organizations will continue to 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 from each of OSHA’s New Jersey Area Offices and HCANJ. Representatives from HCANJ member facilities may also participate in team activities as determined by the team. OSHA will encourage State Plan States' and OSHA Consultation Projects' participation on the team. This agreement will remain in effect for two years. 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. Signed this 1st day of May, 2006.
