The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is asking for public feedback on its plan to continue collecting information required by the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard for Shipyard Employment. This proposal aims to extend the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval for these paperwork requirements. They are particularly interested in comments on the necessity and usefulness of this information, ways to reduce the burden on employers, and the accuracy of the estimated time and costs involved. Comments must be submitted by April 29, 2025, and can be sent electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
Simple Explanation
OSHA wants to keep asking workers about the safety gear they use at shipyards and needs permission to do this. They're looking for help to make sure it's not too hard to fill out the forms, costs the right amount of time and money, and keeps everyone's information safe.
