Directorate of Construction (DOC) Regulatory Update
Jim Maddux, Director, DOC

Mr. Maddux gave an update on the status of the following ACCSH approved motions and action items from the December 15-16, 2011, meeting:

  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA develop construction sanitation guidelines that incorporate the language on separate toilet facilities for men and women contained in the CalOSHA sanitation standard.
    • Status - Open: We are exploring ways to address the toilet sanitation concerns of both men and women in construction. We are collecting information on health risks and the extent of the problem.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA consider three basic principles for developing an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) proposal to address multi-employer construction workplaces:
      • Safety and health programs must be able to operate at two levels, employer-based and site-wide;
      • Safety and health programs must be responsive to the dynamic nature of the construction worksite; and
      • Safety and health programs must include systems for clear, open, and consistent communication.
    • Status - Completed: This motion has been passed on to the Directorate of Standards and Guidance (DSG) for consideration during the development of the I2P2 proposal.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA post the Alliance Roundtable Fact Sheets on OSHA's Webpage or create a link to those documents.
    • Status - Completed: A link has been created on OSHA's Construction Webpage to the Alliance Webpage where their fact sheets are located.
  • ACCSH recommended that DOC work with the Alliance Roundtable to develop an outreach program and dissemination plan for getting the Roundtable Fact Sheets and other products to the design community, owners, and the public.
    • Status - Open: (Long Term Issue) The link on OSHA's Construction Webpage to the Alliance Webpage has made the fact sheets available to owners and the public. We still need to work with Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs (DCSP) to develop a dissemination plan to get this material into the hands of the design community.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA proceed with the direct final rule (DFR)/proposed rule to revise OSHA's Head Protection Standard for the construction industry.
    • Status - Completed: In the clearance process within DOL. The office of Management and Budget (OMB) decided not to review the DFR, thus allowing OSHA to move forward with the publication of the DFR.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA suspend the work of the ACCSH Reinforced Concrete Work Group until after OSHA's Request for Information (RFI) is published and the Agency determines whether to proceed with rulemaking.
    • Status - Completed: The Reinforced Concrete Work Group was suspended. The Reinforced Concrete RFI was published in the Federal Register on March 29, 2012. The public has until June 27, 2012, to submit comments. After the comment period closes, the Agency will determine whether to proceed with rulemaking and re-establish the Work Group if OSHA undertakes rulemaking.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA:
      • Enlarge the scope of the Backing Operations webpage to address operating equipment with an obstructed view in any direction of travel;
      • Develop separate tracks on the Backing Operations webpage to differentiate between backing operations in construction and in general industry; and
      • Follow the recognized hierarchy of controls in listing feasible controls on the Backing Operations webpage.
    • Status - Open: The Backing Operations webpage is still under development. The plan is to design the webpage so that users can easily differentiate between backing operations in construction and in general industry. The webpage also will address operating equipment that has an obstructed view in any direction of travel.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA include proper fit of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the Standards Improvement Project IV (SIP IV) rulemaking.
    • Status - Completed: The proper fit of PPE will be included as a candidate for proposal in the SIP IV rulemaking.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA consider including the chimney variance in the SIP IV rulemaking.
    • Status - Open: The chimney variance is being considered as a candidate for proposal in the SIP IV rulemaking.
  • ACCSH recommended that OSHA explore with NIOSH the possibility of doing a guidance document on mast climbers that is similar to the nail guns document that OSHA and NIOSH published jointly.
    • Status - Open: OSHA will engage NIOSH in a discussion on pursuing a mast climbing guidance document (Exhibit 2).

Mr. Maddux also provided ACCSH an overview of DOC's standards activities, guidance document updates, outreach efforts underway, the latest BLS Construction Fatality data available, and the Agency's summer safety and health campaigns (Exhibits 2 and 3).

Presentation by Dr. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health:

Dr. Michaels thanked the Committee for their work in keeping construction workers safe and presented an update on the following:

Workers Memorial Day - Dr. Michaels said OSHA celebrated Workers Memorial Day on April 28 and notes there were events across the country. He said that even though injury and the fatality rates have dropped dramatically over the last decade, 13 workers die each day on-the-job and employers report 3 million employee injuries every year.

Residential Fall Protection - Dr. Michael said OSHA is still trying to ensure that all workers are protected from falls, and the Agency is pursing various approaches. He said OSHA is providing a "tremendous amount" of consultation and compliance assistance. He said that OSHA has asked its consultation programs across the country to make this a priority and the consultation programs have provided over 1,000 consultation activities. In addition, OSHA regional and area compliance assistance staff have done many as well.

Fall Prevention in Construction Campaign - Dr. Michaels said that because falls remain the leading cause of death among construction workers that OSHA, working jointly with NIOSH and in partnership with a number of trade associations and unions around the country, has launched a campaign to reduce falls in the industry. OSHA has produced posters and other materials developed by social marketing people. He said OSHA is reaching out to employers, unions, and many other groups to get information out about the campaign.

Prevent Heat Illness Campaign - Dr. Michael announced that this is the second year of the two-year campaign to prevent heat illness in outdoor workers. He said that the first year of the campaign was very successful and the Agency has everything ready to before the summer heat arrives. Dr. Michael said ACCSH was instrumental in getting the word out on the campaign last year, and asked the Committee for their help again to make the campaign a success. Dr. Michaels said OSHA has printed facts sheets, posters and other materials in English and Spanish. He said that OSHA distributed more than 180,000 materials last year. Dr. Michaels said the campaign not only points out the critical issues about working safely outdoors in heat, but it also gives the message that worker safety is important. He added that OSHA was particularly proud of working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to ensure that every time NOAA issues a heat alert to people on their smartphones or radio, it includes a message that says: "To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks and shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency. Call 911." Dr. Michaels said NOAA issued heat alerts thousands of times last summer and the millions of workers read the OSHA message. OSHA also has a simple smartphone app about the campaign that has been downloaded 16,000 times already.

Compliance Assistance - Dr. Michaels said OSHA continues to do a tremendous amount of compliance assistance. He said that every time OSHA starts a new program, the Agency tries to get more of it on the OSHA website. Last year the OSHA website had about 200 million unique visitors. The Agency also has a toll-free telephone number and responds to e-mail requests. Dr. Michael said that most important in terms of getting information out where it really makes a big difference, is the Agency's onsite consultation program, which conducted almost 30,000 small business consultations last year.

Hazard Communication (Globally Harmonized System (GHS)) Standard - Dr. Michael said the publication of OSHA's new GHS standard for the classification and labeling of chemicals was a very important development for all workers across the United States. He said the standard represents a major change and it will affect construction workers and employers. Dr. Michaels said the standard requires that chemical substances brought onto worksites have a new type of label so that employers and workers will have a better understanding of what's safe and what isn't, or what's safer and what's less safe. He said that the standard will enable employers to train their employees much more easily, and he said this will prevent occupational illness down the line. The standard will take several years to go into effect, and gives employers over a year to get their training requirements into compliance.

Recordkeeping - Dr. Michaels said OSHA also is focused on the issue of injury reporting. OSHA is very concerned that many worker injuries are not reported to employers or employers are not recording them on the OSHA log. Dr. Michaels acknowledged the tension in recordkeeping because employers want to see low injury rates. He said that employers set up programs to incentivize low injuries by providing either incentive to employees to have low injuries or to their managers to keep injuries down. The purpose of injury and illness recordkeeping is for employers and employees to investigate cases and figure out what's going on at the workplace. He added that if employees are discouraged from reporting injuries or they don't get on the log, the incident can't be investigated, nothing can be learned and the next event can't be prevented. Dr. Michaels said that the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) has recommended that OSHA do recordkeeping in a way that ensures accuracy and doesn't penalize those companies that do a good job, who are committed to safe work places and are absolutely sure to record all injuries. He added that NACOSH has asked OSHA to work with employers to discourage contractor or vendor selection criteria based solely on injury or illness rates. Dr. Michaels asked ACCSH for recommendations on how the Agency can address the following:

    • How do you set up a recordkeeping system that encourages reporting?
    • How does OSHA encourage purchasers of construction services to do a real assessment of the health and safety program of the companies bidding on the job? How can we get them to look at things that really make a difference such as whether a company does job safety analysis and near miss investigations instead of just injury rates (Exhibit 4)?

Directorate of Standards and Guidance (DSG) Update
Michael Seymour, Acting Deputy Director

Mr. Seymour provided an overview of the DSG fall regulatory agenda, final rules in the DSG pipeline, and other initiatives currently underway in the Directorate:

  • OSHA has issued the Hazard Communication (Globally Harmonized System) Standard;
  • Subpart V, Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution in Construction is in the final stages of rulemaking;
  • OSHA is developing the final rule for Subpart D, Walking and Working Surfaces in General Industry; Subpart I, Personal Protective Equipment (Fall protection) in General Industry; and Head Protection, including in Construction (Exhibit 5).

Standards Improvement Project IV (SIP IV) Update
Paul Bolon, Office Director, Office of Construction Standards and Guidance (OCSG), DOC
Dayton Eckerson, Regulatory Analyst, OCSG

Mr. Bolon explained to the committee the parameters and the limitations of SIP IV. He stated the first step in the process was to publish an RFI in the Federal Register and request ideas for changes, primarily to construction regulations for correcting or improving existing OSHA standards and eliminating obsolete ones. Mr. Bolon provided examples of current and potential candidates for the SIP IV rulemaking. He also provided a progress report on SIP IV issues discussed in previous ACCSH meetings and answered questions from the committee regarding his update (Exhibit 6).

Backing Operations Work Group Report
Steven Hawkins and Charles Stribling, Co-Chairs

Mr. Hawkins provided a summary of the issues and discussions that took place during their work group. Mr. Jim Maddux, Director of OSHA's Directorate of Construction, addressed the work group and discussed the recently published RFI on backovers. Mr. Dave Fosbroke with NIOSH presented an overview of a research project underway at NIOSH that is looking at internal traffic control plans and the effect these plans have on backing hazards on several large, continuous paving projects.

Mr. Hawkins presented the results of a survey on hand signals used by a spotter and equipment operator. Mr. Hawkins reported that the Work Group discussed hand signals and some comments indicated hand signals might better be placed in a non-mandatory appendix to a possible OSHA standard. He also stated that the Work Group is in the information gathering stages and they hope to be able to produce comments, materials and recommendations that will be useful to the Agency and for the rulemaking record.

Mr. Gary Batykefer moved that ACCSH approve the Backing Operations Work Group report from the May 8, 2011, meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (Exhibit 7).

Overview of A10.33 - Safety and Health Program Requirements for Multi-Employer Projects
Tim Fisher, Director of Practices and Standards, American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE)

Mr. Fisher gave a presentation on the A10.33 national consensus standard, which sets forth the minimum expectations for managing multiple employers on a construction work site. He said the standard lists elements and activities of a safety and health program and defines the duties and responsibilities of all employers on the project. Mr. Fisher said the standard gets safety communication going between contractors and subcontractors on multi-employer worksites. He also explained the ASSE approach and role in the standards development process (Exhibits 11 and 12).

Health Hazards, Emerging Issues, and Prevention Through Design Work Group Report
Walter Jones, Matt Gillen, and Michael Thibodeaux, Co-Chairs

Mr. Gillen reported that the Work Group discussed two topics: (1) radio frequency hazards and (2) diisocyanates.

Mr. Gillen said three guests spoke to the Work Group. Rick Burnheimer of RF Check, a consulting firm that provides site-specific RF safety plans using a proprietary database, discussed how to identify whether employees are exposed to hazardous radio frequency. Greg Lotz and Joe Bowman, both of NIOSH, also spoke about radio frequency hazards.

Mr. Gillen said Janet Carter, OSHA DSG, provided the Work Group with a comprehensive update on current developments related to diisocyanates.

Mr. William E. Hering moved that ACCSH approve the Health Hazards, Emerging Issues & Prevention Through Design Work Group report from the May 8, 2011, meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (Exhibits 13-17).

Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) Work Group Report
Letitia Davis, Thomas Marrero, and Gary Batykefer, Co-Chairs

Mr. Marrero said that Mr. Jim Maddux reported at the Work Group meeting that the I2P2 proposed rule is in the SBREFA process but on hold as OSHA works on providing some additional information for this review.

Ms. Davis gave a brief recap of the previous work group minutes and the presentation the Building and Construction Trades Department gave at the Work Group meeting. In addition, she said that David Kliwinski of Jacobs Construction; and Tom Botwell of Cupertino Electric, a California-based company and a NECA contractor, also made presentations to the work group. Mr. Marrero summarized both presentations and discussions between the presenters and committee members. Mr. Marrero stated that there was a strong feeling that the work group should continue. He said that the Work Group plans to invite smaller contractors to the next meeting to talk about their experiences and any concerns they have about mandatory I2P2 requirements.

Gerald Ryan moved that ACCSH approve the Injury & Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) Work Group Report from the May 9, 2011, meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (Exhibit 18).

Chairman Stafford adjourned the meeting for the day a 2:40 p.m.

Friday, May 11, 2012

Chairman Stafford reconvened the ACCSH meeting at 8:20 a.m., May 11, 2012.

Mr. Jim Maddux and the Committee discussed the timing of the next ACCSH meeting and preliminarily determined that late November or early December might be good.

Mr. Maddux provided the Committee with new FAQs on Cranes and Derricks in Construction, which are available in the public docket (Exhibit 20).

Diversity, Multilingual, and Women in Construction Work Group Report
Jewel (Liz) Arioto, Laurie Shadrick, and Dan Zarletti, Co-Chairs

Ms. Arioto summarized the issues and discussions that took place during the Work Group meeting. She said Mr. Maddux requested that the Committee review the draft Women in Construction website and provide feedback and information. He also requested the Work Group develop a guidance document on sanitation standards as it relates to women in construction.

Also at the Work Group meeting, Len Welsh, Chief of Workplace Safety with the California State Insurance Fund and former head of CalOSHA, explained how CalOSHA has succeeded in providing adequate sanitation facilities for women in construction. Ms. Arioto said the ACCSH Chair agreed the work group should proceed with developing a guidance document pertaining to sanitation facilities for women in construction. Letitia Davis volunteered to work with the staff at CPWR to prepare a brief summary of statistics on employment of women in construction for inclusion in the guidance documents and on the OSHA webpage. Bill Hering and Gerald Ryan volunteered to provide the Work Group with pictures for the guidance document and webpage.

Gerald Ryan moved that ACCSH approve the Diversity, Multilingual, and Women in Construction Work Group Report from the May 9, 2011, meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (Exhibits 21-32).

Training and Outreach Work Group Report
Gerry Ryan, Kevin Cannon, and Bill Hering, Co-Chairs

Kevin Cannon reported that Hank Payne and Jim Barnes, OSHA Directorate of Training and Education (OTI), gave a presentation highlighting OSHA training activities, including an update on the Susan Harwood Training Grants, the OSHA Education Centers Outreach Training Program, and training evaluations. Mr. Maddux and Matt Gillen provided a brief update on the recently launched Fall Prevention in Construction campaign.

Chairman Stafford moved that the Work Group recommends to ACCSH that OSHA review the 2-hour Introduction to OSHA component of the OSHA 10- and 30-hour courses. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Chairman Stafford said that OTI should seek stakeholder input prior to implementing changes in training requirements. For that reason he stressed the importance of ACCSH being able to review what OTI is planning in terms of new policies or requirements for training in the construction industry.

Mr. Charles Stribling said he believes the Agency could have a huge impact in the area of social media, a component of outreach. He suggested working with the Agency. Mr. Maddux said OSHA is doing a lot related to social media and outreach and said he could have somebody from OSHA's Office of Communications speak at the next ACCSH meeting (Exhibits 34-37).

Mr. William E. Hering moved that ACCSH approve the Training and Outreach Work Group Report from the May 9th, 2011 meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (Exhibit 33 and 34).

Mr. Gerald Ryan moved that ACCSH review the 2-hour"Introduction to OSHA" component of the OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour courses. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
