1. General

   The Allentown Area Office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (hereafter referred to as "OSHA") and Alvin H. Butz Inc., (hereafter referred to as "AHB"), have agreed to implement an OSHA Strategic Partnership (hereafter referred to as "Partnership") during construction of the B. Braun 939 Expansion Project (hereafter referred to as "Project").

   The goal of this Partnership is to encourage joint cooperation between OSHA, AHB, OSHA Consultation Program and trade contractors to foster a safe work environment for all project employees.

   The Partnership calls for the Project to be managed in accordance with OSHA's 1989 Safety and Health Management Guidelines or its equivalent. OSHA will provide timely responses to requests for information, requests for clarification of OSHA standards and assist as resources and/or OSHA Policy allow. To show their commitment to the Partnership, participating contractors will voluntarily sign a pledge (Appendix C).

   This Partnership will not relieve any trade contractors from, lessen their safety responsibilities, nor change any contractual obligations between AHB, B. Braun (Owner), or trade contractor, nor does it lessen any/all affirmative defenses, legal rights or due process afforded with respect to OSHA enforcement action.

   This Partnership will not in any way affect employees' ability to exercise rights under the Occupational Safety and Health ("OSH") Act and OSHA regulations. The Partnership supports OSHA's long-range effort to develop a contractor/government Partnership approach to safety management. It allows for better use of OSHA resources and for innovation in safety management, and it encourages more participation in the safety process by each stakeholder.

   Partners recognize that it does not include any exemption from OSHA inspections or penalties. However, the contractors expect that OSHA will acknowledge superior performance by providing timely responses to requests for information and requests for clarification of OSHA standards.
