   3. Overview

      The Alliance with the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Pelican Chapter was established to create a collaborative relationship to foster safer and more healthful workplaces. The goals of the Alliance are to be achieved through sharing information, providing guidance, and access to training resources to protect employees' health and safety. Particular focus is to be paid to reducing and preventing exposure to struck-by, falls, caught-in-between and electrical hazards and addressing construction and industrial contractor issues.

      ABC is a national trade association with 72 chapters representing 22,000 members representing more than 19,000 construction and industry-related firms. The ABC, Pelican Chapter was incorporated and developed in April 1980, around the need to adequately service the construction industry throughout Louisiana.

      The Chapter's Safety Committee is responsible for continually updating the membership on any new or revised standards and regulations, to provide oversight and review on all Pelican Chapter safety training, to promote the ABC National Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Awards program, and to maintain the Alliance with OSHA. The Pelican Chapter Safety Committee comprises the largest concentration of contractor safety professionals in the region, and through the Alliance has a mission of supporting the industry through outreach efforts.

   • Products: STOP THE HURT Campaign

     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 Regions in OSHA. This group continues to enjoy being the best attended meeting in the region.
   • The group has implemented a program called "Stop the Hurt" where company employees are encouraged to stop work in the event they believe that something, or someone is doing something unsafe. Companies have donated money to give away to the best, actual scenario where an hourly employee has stepped up and stopped a job because of unsafe work practices. The PBSTEPS intends to continue this program into the next year.
   • Promoting the National Dialogue on Workplace Safety and Health
   • Events: Each meeting has some element of dialogue on workplace safety.
   • This network enjoys a large attendance each month; routinely, over 120 persons attend representing 100 or more companies involved in oil and gas. There has been over 800 people sign-in and attend at least once in the past 12 months.
   • This network provides free training as much as possible. There was a class on H2S provided free to anyone who wanted to attend. This was put on by TEEX.

3. Results This Safety Network has enjoyed great success. There is a website and many companies involved help sponsor the meeting place and refreshments for the monthly meetings. Involvement is key and each month, the involvement grows. Most of the attendees are safety personnel from companies and the information/training they receive from these meetings is taken back to the employee population of each company which makes the total magnified by thousands.

   Alliance meetings (in person or by phone) were held on February 28 2017, April 4, 2017, and June 6, 2017.

3. Activities, Events and Products

   Alliance Activity

   • Training and Education: OSHA has provided WDP with 400 copies of OSHA publications for distribution in their construction safety orientation classes.
   • Outreach and Communication: OSHA participated in monthly WDP in-take nights to provide Hispanic workers the opportunity to ask questions and file complaints with OSHA. WDP conducts intake nights to allow workers to make complaints about workplace safety issues and nonpayment of wages complaints. As a result of the intake nights, OSHA has received 18 worker complaints that were taken in person at intake nights, and fielded numerous safety and health questions from workers and WDP staff and volunteers. OSHA also responded to 16 referrals of unsafe conditions from WDP staff transmitted by email. OSHA also took three whistleblower complaints.
   • Promoting the National Dialogue on Safety and Health: OSHA and WDP have worked to promote knowledge about worker rights in Central Texas through a wide range of events targeted to reach immigrant Spanish speaking workers. WDP has made twenty referrals on unsafe worksite conditions, most of which resulted in OSHA inspections that have protected workers from fall hazards in construction, amputations, and eye injuries due to PPE. These referrals were a direct result of the closer working relationship between OSHA and WDP.

   Alliance Products

   • Training and Education: OSHA has provided approximately 400 pamphlets for WDP construction safety orientations, and intake nights in the past year. WDP has developed an OSHA 10 hour and safety orientation training that covers fall protection and focus four hazards. OSHA has publicized these events to assist WDP in finding Spanish speaking attendees.
   • Outreach and Communication: WDP communicates with OSHA staff almost weekly to make referrals, make general safety & health inquiries, and to file complaints on behalf of Hispanic workers. OSHA has also received complaints during the intake nights. OSHA has put WDP in contact with outreach events that WDP may wish to participate in, such as HopeFest, an event that does outreach to low income Hispanic families in Central Austin. WDP and OSHA have worked with the Mexican Consulate to do joint network and conduct joint activities to reach out to immigrant workers, particularly on events such as Workers Memorial Day, and Labor Rights Week.
   • Promoting the National Dialogue on Safety and Health: The alliance has opened the door of communication with immigrant Spanish workers in the Austin and nationally, so that they can exercise their right to a safe and healthy workplace.

4. Results

   The alliance has raised the Agency's profile with hard to reach immigrant Spanish speaking workers in the Austin area through a multi-pronged approach.

   Type of Activity (Conference, Training, Print and Electronic Distribution, etc.)	Number of Individuals Reached or Trained
   Spanish OSHA publications provided	400
   In-take nights-workers contacted	600
   OSHA 10 hour attendees	120
   OSHA Complaints/referrals/inquiries generated as a result of the alliance	66
   TOTAL	1186

5. Upcoming Milestones

   The alliance has impacted Hispanic construction workers by offering free OSHA 10 hour classes, fall protection, and focus four hazard training and through the development of targeted training materials in Spanish offered by WDP. The alliance provides a conduit for Hispanic workers to exercise their OSHA workplace rights. The OSHA CAS has been the main contact for questions from WDP staff and volunteers, which have averaged about one inquiry per week about referrals and fatalities that have occurred locally. The alliance was renewed on August 30, 2016 for another 2 years.
