Speaker Notes:
OSHA chose these Program goals to maximize the resources and expertise of the
Agency and the Alliance Program participants, recognizing that this is a
tremendous asset in helping to improve safety and health in the workplace. By
highlighting these goal areas and developing programs and projects that meet
the individual goals of the signed Alliance agreements, OSHA and the Alliance
participants are developing and providing compliance assistance resources. In
addition, OSHA is expanding its reach into local communities and providing
employers with training courses, products, and services for hard-to-reach
workers, especially small businesses.
There are few formal requirements for the Alliance Program, which is less
structured than OSHA’s other cooperative programs, and Alliance agreements do
not include an enforcement component, such as exemption from general scheduled
inspections or monitoring visits. Alliances are also different from other
cooperative programs because their agreements are not worksite-based; instead
focusing on entire industries or hazards within the industries. However, OSHA
and the participating organizations must define, implement and meet a set of
short- and long-term goals that fall into 3 categories seen on this slide.
