Have Ideas to Improve OSHA's Fall Safety Stand-Down Program?
OSHA’s National Fall Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is an effort to raise fall hazard awareness across the country and stop fall fatalities and injuries.
Employers participating in the Stand-Down program are asked to fill out a questionnaire to confirm their participation. OSHA is seeking public comments on whether that questionnaire (OMB No. 1218-0271) is useful and whether the Agency is collecting the right information.
View the request for public comment.
Specifically, the Agency wants feedback on the following issues.
Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful;
The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply. For example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques.
Submit comments to OSHA at www.regulations.gov. Comments must be submitted by January 5, 2025.
