AGREEMENT RENEWING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
FORT LAUDERDALE AREA OFFICE
AND
UNDERGROUND CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH
FLORIDA dba NUCA of SOUTH FLORIDA

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Fort Lauderdale Area Office and the Underground Contractors Association of South Florida dba NUCA of South Florida (NUCASF) continue recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to foster safety and health practices and programs to improve American workplaces. To that end, OSHA and NUCASF hereby renew the Alliance signed June 20, 2019, with a continued emphasis on reducing and preventing exposure to trenching, confined spaces, silica, heat stress, highway work zones including other excavation hazards. Specifically, OSHA and NUCASF are committed to providing NUCASF members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Through the Alliance, the organization will continue to address trenching, confined spaces, silica, heat stress, highway work zones including other excavation hazards.

This agreement provides a framework and objectives for the Alliance's activities. Alliance participants also agree to meet the requirements for program participation laid out in the "Fundamental Requirements for OSHA Alliance Program Participants" and the "Guidelines for OSHA's Alliance Program Participants: Alliance Products and Other Alliance Projects."

Through the Alliance, the organizations will use available injury, illness, and hazard exposure data, when appropriate, to help identify areas of emphasis for Alliance awareness, outreach and communication activities. The Alliance will also explore and implement selected options, including but not limited to member surveys, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and (NUCASF) recognize that OSHA’s State Place and On-Site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort, and that information about the products and activities of the Alliance may be shared with these partners for the advancement of common goals.

Raising Awareness: Outreach and Communication

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives:

• Share information on OSHA’s National/Regional/Local Initiatives (Emphasis Programs, Regulatory Agenda, Outreach), and opportunities to participate in initiatives and the rulemaking process.
• To develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and communicate such information (e.g., print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools, and OSHA's and the NUCASF’s Web sites) to employers and workers in the industry.
• Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or NUCASF conferences, local meetings, or other outreach events.
• Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professional regarding NUCASF’s good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
• Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings on underground utility construction hazards to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace and/or to provide input on safety and health issues.

Training and Education

The Participants intend to work together to achieve the following objectives:

• Develop effective training and education programs for the utility construction industry regarding safe trenching and excavation procedures, confined space entry and other imminent dangers in the underground utility construction industry and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
• Deliver or arrange for the delivery of underground utility construction courses.

OSHA’s Alliances provide organizations an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA’s initiatives, outreach, communication, training, and education. These Alliances have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with an organization, OSHA is not endorsing or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of that organization’s products or services.

An implementation team made up of representatives of each organization will meet one to two times per year to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA Team members will include representatives of the Fort Lauderdale Area Office and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plan States and OSHA On-site Consultation Projects to participate on the Team.

This Agreement will remain in effect for five years. Either signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided such signatory give 30-days written notice. This agreement may be modified at any time with the written concurrence of both signatories.

ALABAMA TRUCKING ASSOCIATION
WORKER’S COMPENSATION FUND

Since entering into an Alliance on February 20, 2009, with subsequent renewals on January 27, 2012; February 6, 2014; and April 26, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Birmingham and Mobile Area Offices and the Alabama Trucking Association Worker’s Compensation Fund (ATAWCF) have worked together to improve workplace health and safety by sharing information, guidance, and access to training resources that address occupational hazard, and promoting understanding of the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

OSHA and the ATAWCF continue to recognize the value of maintaining a collaborative relationship to improve safety and health practices and programs in American workplaces, and commit to continue their work together through an Alliance Program Ambassador relationship.

In recognition of this ongoing commitment, OSHA will continue to foster an active relationship with ATAWCF by:

• Providing routine communications on enforcement, regulatory, and outreach initiatives.
• Sharing invitations to and offering opportunities to speak at OSHA Alliance Program and other agency stakeholder meetings or events, such as outreach and training activities through the National, Regional, or Area Office, and the National Alliance Program Construction Roundtable and Forum.
• Engaging in information sharing and technical discussions, as appropriate, including completing special projects of mutual interest that align with agency priorities and as resources allow.
• Maintaining the organization’s status as Alliance Program Ambassador on the agency’s public webpage.

ATAWCF will continue to foster an active relationship with OSHA by:

• Sharing information with members and stakeholders on OSHA’s National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach), and encouraging their participation in OSHA’s outreach initiatives and rulemaking processes.
• Sharing information with members and stakeholders on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
• Encouraging ATAWCF to build relationships with OSHA’s National, Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety issues.
• Sharing information with OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding ATAWCF good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
• Offering OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at one another’s conferences, local meetings, or other ATAWCF events.
• Adhering to requirements laid out in the Alliance Program Directive regarding the prohibition on promoting or implying the agency’s endorsement of their policies, products, or services, including acknowledging that they will not receive any preferential treatment related to any statutory function of the agency.
• Abiding by all terms and conditions for the use of the Alliance Program logo as specified in OSHA’s Guidelines for Use of the Alliance Logo.

OSHA’s cooperative programs provide organizations an opportunity to participate in a voluntary, collaborative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as raising awareness of OSHA’s initiatives, outreach, communication, training, and education. These programs have proven to be valuable tools for both OSHA and participants. By entering into this Ambassador relationship, OSHA is not endorsing or promoting, nor does it intend to endorse or promote, any of that organization’s products or services.

This Ambassador relationship will remain in effect for the duration of an ongoing cooperative association and a good faith effort by both parties to meet the intent of this document and its underlying policies. 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 written concurrence of both signatories.

   Construction Zone Safety	This project was to be in conjunction with the Alabama Trucking Association (ATA). The ATA and ATA Comp Fund have a solid working relationship for DOT/OSHA regulations.	The future goal for this project has been discussed with the ATA (Tim Frazier, VP-Safety & Compliance). I will also reach out to Ms. Morris on OSHA data that will be used to further enhance our objective. The ATA Comp Fund will assist in creating mock situation(s) and utilizing their drone to give a birds-eye view to capture a larger perspective of the exposure(s).
   Participation of the OSHA Area Director in the Safety & Maintenance Management Council (SMMC) meeting	All SMMC meetings and roadside inspections have been cancelled (except for the recent April 2021 roadside inspection).	The SMMC has a September 2021 meeting in Montgomery, AL, that includes their three chapters. Ms. Morris, Area Director for the Birmingham Area Office has been invited to speak at that event. Additionally, Ms. Morris has also been invited to participate in the ATAWCF’s Risk Management Advisory Council (RMAC) meeting in October 2021.
   Safety Stand-Downs at specific Fund member locations	Due to COVID precautions, this project was placed on hold.	One of the project items approved during the RMAC meeting will be our 1st annual Safety Blitz/Stand-Down to prevent falls. The ATAWCF team will create training for terminal/office personnel on proper 3-point contact techniques and why it is important. The ATAWCF Risk Managers will also be visiting member sites to encourage participation in the Blitz/Stand-Down. Focus will be on those sites with high frequency/severity rates for slips, trips and falls
