Occupational Safety and Health Administration Maritime Advisory
Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH)
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice of renewal of the MACOSH charter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), and after consultation with the General Services
Administration, the Secretary of Labor is renewing the charter for the
Maritime Advisory Committee for Occupational Safety and Health. The
Committee will better enable OSHA to perform its duties under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (the OSH Act) of 1970. The Committee
is diverse and balanced, both in terms of segments of the maritime
industry represented (e.g., shipyard employment, longshoring, and
marine terminal industries), and in the views and interests represented
by the members.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Wangdahl, Director, Office of
Maritime and Agriculture, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, U.S.
Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
Room N-3609, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210;
telephone: (202) 693-2066.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee will advise OSHA on matters
relevant to the safety and health of employees in the maritime
industry. This includes advice on maritime issues that will result in
more effective enforcement, training, and outreach programs, and
streamlined regulatory efforts. The maritime industry includes shipyard
employment, longshoring, marine terminal, and other related industries,
e.g., commercial fishing and shipbreaking. The Committee will function
solely as an advisory body in compliance with the provisions of FACA
and OSHA's regulations covering advisory committees (29 CFR part 1912).
