Abstract: OSHA's Alliance Program is a structure for working with groups that are committed to worker safety and health. The program enables OSHA to enter into a voluntary cooperative relationship with industry, labor and other groups to improve workplace safety and health, prevent workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses, and to reach employers and workers that OSHA may not otherwise reach through traditional methods. OSHA collects information from organizations that are signatories to an Alliance agreement through meetings, informal conversations and data forms. OSHA will use the collected information to develop Alliance agreements, support Alliance activities and Alliance agreement objectives, and develop annual and program-wide reports.
