The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is inviting public comments on its proposal to extend the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval of information collection requirements for the OSHA Alliance Program. This program facilitates voluntary cooperative relationships between OSHA and various organizations committed to workplace safety and health.
Established in 2002, the Alliance Program enables OSHA to collaborate with trade associations, labor unions, educational institutions, and other groups to improve workplace safety and health. Through these alliances, participants and OSHA work together to share information, provide training, and promote awareness of OSHA's initiatives. Importantly, participation in the Alliance Program does not confer exemptions from OSHA inspections or other enforcement activities.
OSHA collects information from alliance participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and to develop compliance assistance tools. The agency is seeking comments on the necessity and utility of the information collection, the accuracy of OSHA’s burden estimates, and suggestions for minimizing the burden on respondents.
Submissions can be made electronically at www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2018-0006. All comments will be included in the public docket and may be available online. Federal Register Public Inspection
