AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Peoria Area Office
AND
CENTRAL ILLINOIS BUILDERS OF AGC
AND
ONSITE SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSULTATION PROGRAM, IL DCEO |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Central Illinois
Builders of the AGC (CIB/AGC) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster
safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and CIB/AGC hereby form an Alliance to provide CIB/AGC
members and others with information, guidance and access to training resources that will help
protect employees, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to construction industry hazards
related to falls, being crushed, electricity, and amputations. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and
CIB/AGC recognize that OSHA’s State Plan and Consultation Project partners are an integral part of
the OSHA national effort.
OSHA and the CIB/AGC will work together to achieve the following training and education goals:
- Develop safety and health training sessions on the hazards related to falls, being crushed,
electricity, and amputations and identify methods that can be used to eliminate or control the
hazards.
- Deliver or arrange for the delivery of safety and health training courses that address effective
safety and health programs, the hazards encountered by CIB/AGC members, and competent person
training.
OSHA and the CIB/AGC will work together to achieve the following outreach and
communication goals:
- Develop and disseminate information about electronic tools and links on the OSHA and CIB/AGC web
sites related to improving safety and health programs and the control of hazards related to the
construction industry.
- Disseminate information to increase the knowledge of OSHA’s regulatory requirements to employers
and labor organizations.
- Encourage employers to improve their safety and health performance and promote the use of
Consultation services and training.
- OSHA will encourage the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) On-site
Consultation Service to give priority to CIB/AGC member requests.
- Encourage CIB/AGC members to seek recognition through the CIB/AGC recognition system and the OSHA
Voluntary Protection Program or the DCEO Consultation Service SHARP program.
OSHA and the CIB/AGC will work together to achieve the following goals related to
promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:
- The CIB/AGC will demonstrate commitment to workplace safety and health when the CIB/AGC leaders
address groups.
- Publicize the results of the Alliance through print or electronic media
- Convene or participate in forums, round table discussions or stakeholder meetings to help forge
innovative solutions.
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 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.
This agreement will remain in effect for three (3) 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.
