3. Results

   The Permian Basin STEPS network has enjoyed great success. Our PBSTEPS website was updated in this review period and anyone can download available presentations. Companies involved sponsor the meetings and refreshments monthly. Involvement is the cornerstone on which the PB STEPS network was founded and each month people involve themselves in the business of keeping employees in the Permian Basin safe. The majority of attendees are safety personnel from the various partnering companies, and the information/training that they receive is then taken back to the employee population of each company. In this way, the safety message is then spread to countless numbers of employees at the partnering companies. Additionally, during this review period the group obtained non-profit status, and has changed their venue, from the Midland Center in Midland, Texas to the Saulsbury Student Center, which is located on the campus of Odessa College. Attendance during the current review period has increased approximately 30% and PBSTEPS has been able to include Odessa College students that are enrolled in the Occupational Safety and Health Program to sit in on their meetings.

   Outreach and Communication
   • Events: All of the events (meetings) that occur monthly have some element of outreach. An OSHA representative is made available to provide an OSHA Update.
   • No "products" have yet to be developed under this Alliance. However, the concept of this network has grown throughout Region VI as well as other OSHA regions. The Southeastern New Mexico STEPS (SENMSTEPS) group is a direct birth from the Permian STEPS network. We believe the Permian Basin STEPS is the most attended meeting in the United Sates consistently.
   • The group has continued to implement a program called "Stop the Hurt" where employees are encouraged to stop work in the event they believe that something, or someone is doing something unsafe. Companies have donated money to be presented to an employee that has stepped up and stopped work because of an unsafe work practice. "Stop the Hurt" awards are presented twice a year in June and December.
   Promoting the National Dialogue on Workplace Safety and Health
   • This network enjoys a large attendance each month; average attendance for the review period averaged 174 with over 100 companies involved in oil and gas. New people attend every month and a large percentage of people attend monthly.
   • This network strives to provide topics relevant to daily operations in the Permian Basin. The lessons learned and best practices segment allows voluntary participation by attendees to share stories regarding experiences or practices employed by participating companies that could benefit all attendees.

4. Upcoming Milestones

   The Permian Basin STEPS Network continually strives to bring relevant information at its monthly meetings to assist and promote safe operations in the Permian Basin area of West Texas. The network conducts a food drive every December to benefit the West Texas Food Bank.

   The network will continue to promote the "Stop the Hurt" campaign as long as interest remains. The campaign focuses on encouraging employees to speak up and know they are able to stop work or call attention to dangerous situations, not only at work, but in the public arena as well.

   When topics relevant to the community-at-large are presented at the STEPS meeting, the community is invited to share in those opportunities.

   This network looks forward to continuing their association with the El Paso Area Office and the Lubbock Area Office.

This agreement provides a framework and objectives for the Alliance's activities. Alliance participants will summarize specific activities and timeframes for completion in a written work plan.

Through the Alliance, the organizations will use relevant 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 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Alliance and measure the impact of its overall effort on improving workplace safety for employers and workers. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and the Participant recognize that OSHA's State Plan 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 of OSHA's Rulemaking and Enforcement Initiatives

T&T STAFF MANAGEMENT, LP

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and T&T Staff Management, LP (T & T) recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful American workplaces. OSHA and T& T Staff Management, LP (an employee leasing company representing 300 construction companies with 6000 employees) hereby form an Alliance to. provide T & T Staff Management, employees and clients with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect their health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to construction hazards such as falls from different elevations, struck-by and caught-in between objects, and electrocution hazards.

OSHA and T&T Staff Management will work together to achieve the following outreach and communication goals:

• Develop and disseminate information through print and electronic media, including electronic assistance tools and links from OSHA's and T&T 's Web site.
• Speak, exhibit, or appear at T&T Staff Management conferences, local meetings, or other events such as EI Paso Roofers Association, EI Paso Association of Builders, and Sub-contractors Association of EI Paso.
• Promote and encourage T& T members' or worksites' participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such as compliance assistance, the Voluntary Protection Program, Consultation, and the Safety and Health Award Recognition Program. In addition, T&T will act as mentors to client worksites that aspire to excellence in safety and health.
• Share Information on T&T worksites best practices, as jointly determined by OSHA and T& T of with others in the industry and publicize the results through outreach by T& T and through OSHA developed training programs and materials.
• Assist with answering question when T&T is teaching safety related courses and assist with contacting OSHA Educational Centers and other safety and health organizations for conducting safety related courses to T& T employees.

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 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.
