OSHA Holds Public Meeting on New Voluntary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines

On Dec. 9, OSHA held a public meeting at the Department of Labor in Washington, D.C. to discuss its revised Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines, which are voluntary guidelines for employers. Dr. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, led the meeting and sough input on the guidelines, which are currently in draft form. In addition to seeking general input and guidance from stakeholders, Dr. Michaels explained that OHSHA was seeking answers to five key questions as well:

 

1.What is your experience with safety and health programs or management systems?

2.How well do they work?

3.What were the challenges?

4.What factors made them succeed?

5.How can OSHA’s guidelines be an instrument of change in the culture of the U.S. workplace?


OSHA set the deadline for public feedback for Feb. 14. There will be a second public meeting on this issue in March, and another opportunity for stakeholders to be heard.
