On December 14, 2009, OSHA published a Federal Register notice
inviting interested parties to submit nominations for FACOSH membership
by February 12, 2010 (74 FR 66151). OSHA requested nominations to fill
10 vacancies on FACOSH, five labor and five management members. Five
vacancies occurred during CY 2009 and five vacancies will occur in CY
2010. The Secretary of Labor will appoint new members to two-year or
three-year terms depending on whether the member will be filling a CY
2009 or CY 2010 vacancy.
FACOSH is authorized to advise the Secretary of Labor on all
matters relating to the occupational safety and health of Federal
employees (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 688),
5 U.S.C. 7902, Executive Order 13446). This includes providing advice
on how to reduce and keep at a minimum the number of injuries and
illnesses in the Federal workforce and how to encourage the
establishment and maintenance of effective occupational safety and
health programs in each Federal department and agency.
