The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is asking for public feedback on its proposal to extend the approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding information collection requirements under the 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropane (DBCP) Standard. This extension aims to protect workers from harmful health effects caused by DBCP exposure by requiring employers to monitor and report exposure levels. OSHA is particularly interested in comments about the necessity of the information collection, the accuracy of burden estimates, and ways to reduce the burden on employers. Comments must be submitted by May 9, 2025, either electronically or by fax, ensuring to include the relevant OSHA docket number.
Simple Explanation
OSHA wants people to say what they think about keeping track of a chemical called DBCP to keep workers safe, and they're asking for ideas about how to make this easier and safer. People have to share their thoughts by May 9, 2025, and OSHA will look at all the comments to decide the best way to protect workers.
