DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health: Request for
Nomination of Members
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S.
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH):
Request for Nomination of Members.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and
Health invites and requests the public to nominate individuals by July
31, 1997, for appointment to the Advisory Committee on Construction
Safety and Health. ACCSH is authorized under section 107(e)(1) of the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 333) and
section 7(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29
U.S.C. 656). The function of ACCSH is to advise the Assistant Secretary
on occupational safety and health standards in the construction
industry and policy affecting federally-financed or federally-assisted
construction.
ACCSH meets two to four times per year for one or two days per
meeting. Some terms will expire on August 15, 1998, and others on
August 15, 1999. Any member absent from two consecutive meetings will
be replaced for the duration of his or her term.
The five categories of membership and the number of representatives
to be appointed in each category are listed below:
Representatives of employee interests (five).
Representatives of employer interests (five).
Representatives of State safety and health agencies (two).
Representatives qualified by knowledge and experience
related to construction safety and health (two). This includes
representatives of professional safety and health groups or standards-
producing groups.
Representatives from, and appointed by, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (not appointed by OSHA).
Nominees must have specific experience and be actively engaged in
work related to occupational safety and health in the construction
industry. Members (other than representatives of employers and
employees) must not have an economic interest in any proposed standard.
Nominations for a particular category of membership should come from
groups or people within that category.
OSHA requires the particular information listed below. Nominations
must include (1) nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, (2) all
categories of membership for which the nominee can serve, (3) nominee's
involvement in federally-funded or federally-assisted construction, (4)
a summary of background, experience and qualifications that makes the
nominee well-suited for each of those particular categories of
membership, (5) the nominee's date of birth, (6) the nominee's Social
Security number, (7) the nominee's current address, (8) the nominee's
telephone number, (9) the nominee's fax number (if available), and (10)
the nominee's e-mail address (if available). In addition, each
nomination must state that the nominee is (11) aware of the nomination,
(12) willing to serve, (13) able to attend meetings, and (14) free of
apparent conflicts of interest that would preclude unbiased service on
ACCSH. Nominations of past or existing members must also include (15)
the period of previous appointment(s), (16) a list of all ACCSH and
workgroup meetings attended and missed, and (17) a summary of
significant contributions made in producing written recommendations to
OSHA. The nomination should also include a writing sample authored
solely by the nominee and a description of the nominee's oral
communications skills.
The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks a broad-based and diverse ACCSH membership. Send
nominations no later than July 31, 1997, to Ms. Teresa M.B. Martinez,
Department of Labor, OSHA, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-2315,
Washington, D.C. 20210. For further information, contact Ms. Martinez
