LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Denver Regional Office, Denver Area Office, Englewood Area Office, Billings Area Office, Sioux Falls Area Office, and Lamar Advertising Company continue to 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 Lamar Advertising Company hereby form an Alliance to provide Lamar Advertising Company's 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 Administration Act (OSH Act). Through the Alliance, the organization will address hazards inherent to the outdoor advertising industry including falls, personal protective equipment (PPE), safe use of ladders, electrical hazards, control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), bloodborne pathogens, and whistleblower protection laws.

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 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 Alliance and measure the impact on improving workplace safety and health. In developing this Alliance, OSHA and Lamar Advertising Company recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-Site Consultation Program 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:

  • To 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 deliver site specific training to employees as determined through an alliance developed training needs assessment. The alliance will explore employee training needs during Lamar Advertising Company's bi-annual training events.
  • To share information on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
  • 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 Lamar Advertising Company Web sites) to employers and workers in the outdoor advertising industry.
  • To speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA's or Lamar Advertising Company's conferences, local meetings, or other safety and health events.
  • To convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings on falls, PPE, safe use of ladders, electrical hazards, lockout/tag out, and bloodborne pathogens to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.
  • To share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding Lamar Advertising Company's safety meetings, which will be attended by Lamar personnel and others in the outdoor advertising industry to share good practices or effective approaches through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
  • To encourage worker participation in workplace safety and health by notifying them of other training opportunities and collaborating with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects on hazards specific to the outdoor advertising industry.
  • To develop and disseminate case studies on accidents and near misses and publicize the results within the outdoor advertising industry.
  • To encourage Lamar Advertising Company to build relationships with OSHA's Regional and Area Offices to address health and safety hazards, including best practices for its industry.
  • To share information about the OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
  • To disseminate information to workers regarding national and regional safety stand-downs and summits through the use of Lamar Advertising Company media.
Training and Education

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

  • To develop effective training and education programs for Lamar Advertising Company and others in the outdoor advertising field regarding falls, PPE, safe use of ladders, electrical hazards, lockout/tagout, bloodborne pathogens, first aid, CPR, other hazards in their industry, and to communicate such information to constituent employers and workers.
  • To develop effective training and education programs for Lamar Advertising Company and others in the outdoor advertising field to promote understanding of workers' rights, including the OSHA complaint process, and the responsibilities of employers and to communicate such information to workers and employers.
  • To deliver or arrange for the delivery of safety and health training including but not limited to: falls, PPE, safe use of ladders, electrical hazards, lockout/tagout, bloodborne pathogens, first aid, and CPR.
  • To provide training and education related to OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Program.

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 regional management team and any other appropriate offices. OSHA will encourage State Plans' and OSHA On-Site Consultation programs' participation on the team.

This agreement will be executed in full compliance with all applicable federal laws. It takes effect on the date of signing and will remain in effect for five years. Any signatory may terminate their organization's participation in the agreement 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 all signatories.

CPI - Ambassador Document - March 10, 2026

ESTABLISHING AN ALLIANCE PROGRAM AMBASSADOR RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN
THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AND
THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL
CENTER FOR THE POLYURETHANES INDUSTRY, AND DIISOCYANATES AND ALIPHATIC DIISOCYANATES PANELS

Since entering into an Alliance on September 13, 2017, with subsequent renewal on September 15, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Chemistry Council Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), and Diisocyanates (DII) and Aliphatic Diisocyanates (ADI) Panels (hereafter known collectively as ACC) have worked together to improve workplace health and safety by sharing information, guidance, and access to training resources that address occupational hazards, and promoting understanding of the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

OSHA and ACC 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 ACC 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 ACC's status as Alliance Program Ambassador on the agency's public webpage.

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

  • Sharing information with members on OSHA's National Initiatives (Enforcement, Regulatory, and Outreach) and encouraging their participation in OSHA's outreach initiatives and rulemaking processes.
  • Sharing information with CPI, and DII and ADI Panels' membership and their downstream user networks on occupational safety and health laws and standards, including the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers.
  • Encouraging CPI, and DII and ADI Panels' membership and their downstream user networks 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 product stewardship guidance through training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
  • Offering OSHA opportunities to speak, exhibit, or appear at industry conferences (e.g. CPI Polyurethanes Technical Conference) and 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. OSHA and ACC acknowledge that this document is not legally binding. This document does not obligate or authorize the expenditure or reimbursement of appropriations or other funds, nor does it require the parties to enter into any contract or other obligations. It does not confer any rights or responsibilities under U.S. law, nor does it limit or restrict the parties from participating in similar activities or arrangements with other entities. This document does not limit, supersede, or otherwise affect OSHA's normal operations or decisions in carrying out its statutory and regulatory duties and functions. OSHA's entering this relationship with an organization does not imply the agency's endorsement or promotion of that organization's products or services.

This Ambassador relationship will be executed in full compliance with all applicable federal laws. It takes effect on the date of signing and will remain in effect for the duration of an ongoing cooperative association and a good faith effort by all parties to meet the intent of this document and its underlying policies. Any signatory may terminate it for any reason at any time, provided they give 30 days' written notice. Termination by one signatory will not nullify the Ambassador relationship with all signatories, with the exception of OSHA; OSHA may terminate the Ambassador relationship as a whole, or its relationship with one or more individual signatories.

Signed this 10th day of March, 2026.
