The Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH) will
hold an open full committee meeting by teleconference Wednesday, Dec. 18, at
the Frances Perkins Building, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave.,
NW, Room N3437 A and B, Washington, D.C.
The teleconference meeting will begin at 1 p.m. and end about 3 p.m.
ACCSH provides continuing advice and recommendations to the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on matters relating to safety and
health in construction employment. OSHA is seeking the advice and
recommendations of ACCSH on how to evaluate the practical application of OSHA's
construction safety and health standards to the residential construction
industry. The teleconference meeting will explore ways ACCSH can assist OSHA,
such as through the utilization of an ACCSH work group or outside consultants.
Due to scheduling difficulties, OSHA is unable to wait until the
regularly scheduled meeting of ACCSH in March 1997 to request assistance. For
the same reason, OSHA is unable to provide the usual 15-day advance notice of
this teleconference meeting. However, a discussion of the teleconference
meeting will take place at the March 1997 ACCSH meeting.
Anyone wishing to make an oral presentation should notify Tom Hall, OSHA
Division of Consumer Affairs, Room N-3647, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, telephone (202) 219-8615
before the meeting. The request should state the amount of time desired, the
capacity in which the person will appear and a brief outline of the content of
the presentation. Persons who request the opportunity to address the committee
may be allowed to speak, as time permits, at the discretion of the committee
chair.
Individuals with disabilities who wish to attend the meeting and who
require special accommodations also should contact Tom Hall at the Division of
Consumer Affairs address or telephone (202) 219-8615.
Hall also may be contacted for additional information about the meeting.
An official record of the meeting will be available for public
inspection at the OSHA Docket Office, Room N-2625, telephone (202) 219-7894.
The 15-member advisory committee advises OSHA on standards and policies
designed to protect construction workers from workplace hazards. ACCSH consists
of five representatives each of employers and employees, two representatives of
state government, two public representatives and one federal representative.
Members serve two-year terms.
Notice of the advisory committee meeting was published in the Tuesday,
Dec. 10, 1996, Federal Register.
