4. Results

   This alliance continues to raise the awareness level of MSEA members on both the front range and western slope of Colorado about OSHA enforcement activity and major hazards in the oil and gas industry, as well as compliance assistance resources available at the OSHA area offices. In the past year, there have been many new additions to the MSEA in both areas, allowing OSHA to interface with more companies.

   The alliance also provided MSEA members with notification of and opportunities to attend specific training provided by OSHA or others, regular updates on OSHA activity and strategic plan focus areas and an opportunity to interface directly with the CAS.

   Type of Activity (Conference, Training, Print and Electronic Distribution, etc.)	Number of Individuals Reached or Trained
   Attend Safety Committee Meetings, provide OSHA updates (5 meetings)	20 owners, managers or company safety/health professionals per meeting (100)
   Recordkeeping Training (Highlights)	40
   MSEA Newsletter article (3 articles)	80 members per newsletter (240)
   TOTAL	380

5. Upcoming Milestones

   Oil and gas drilling and field servicing has been identified as a focus area for reducing fatalities in FY2008. Region VIII is continuing its emphasis program in this industry and through this alliance we hope to reach employers in this industry proactively and help to prevent fatalities. So far in FY 08, Region VIII has experienced 3 fatalities in the oil and gas industries.

   The CAS will continue to attend quarterly safety committee meetings and provide OSHA updates to members throughout the state as resources permit. This year the CAS will also present a “case study” on an accident of fatality in the industry as a learning tool and will continue to contribute articles periodically to the MSEA newsletter. The implementation team will be discussing training or other methods to address those hazards which cause or contribute to the most injuries, illnesses and fatalities for MSEA member companies as identified by their worker compensation claims.

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 Montana Contractor Compensation Fund 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.
