The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking public comments on its proposal to renew the information collection requirements under the Temporary Labor Camp Standard. This renewal is part of efforts to ensure data collected is useful and efficiently formatted while minimizing the burden on businesses. An increase in reported cases has resulted in more workers living in contractor-provided housing, prompting OSHA to request a change in burden hours from 48 to 238. Comments can be submitted electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal until March 3, 2025.
Simple Explanation
OSHA wants to hear what people think about new rules for how much paperwork is needed for places where workers live temporarily. They want to change how long it takes to do this paperwork because more workers now live in these special homes.
