SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
ACCSH advises the Secretary of Labor and the Assistant Secretary of
Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (Assistant Secretary) in the
formulation of standards affecting the construction industry, and on
policy matters arising in the administration of the safety and health
provisions under the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
(Construction Safety Act (CSA)) (40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) (see also 29 CFR 1911.10 and 1912.3). In addition, the CSA and
OSHA regulations require the Assistant Secretary to consult with ACCSH
before the agency proposes occupational safety and health standards
affecting construction activities (40 U.S.C. 3704; 29 CFR 1911.10).
ACCSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and the implementing
regulations (41 CFR 102-3 et seq.); and Department of Labor Manual
Series Chapter 1-900 (8/31/2020). ACCSH generally meets two to four
times a year.
II. Appointment of Committee Members:
ACCSH consists of 15 members whom the Secretary appoints. ACCSH
members generally serve two-year terms, unless they resign, cease to be
qualified, become unable to serve, or the Secretary removes them (29
CFR 1912.3(e)). The Secretary may appoint ACCSH members to successive
terms. The allocation of members for each category of ACCSH membership
is:
Five members who are qualified by experience and
affiliation to present the viewpoint of employees in the construction
industry;
Five members who are similarly qualified to present the
viewpoint of employers in the construction industry;
Two public members, qualified by knowledge and experience
to make a useful contribution to the work of ACCSH, such as those who
have professional or technical experience and competence with
occupational safety and health in the construction industry;
Two representatives of State safety and health agencies;
and
One representative designated by the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services.
OSHA received nominations of highly qualified individuals in
response to the agency's request for nominations (87 FR 73333, November
29, 2022). The Acting Secretary appointed individuals to serve on the
Committee who have broad experience relevant to the issues to be
examined by the Committee. The ACCSH membership is as follows:
