OSHA is holding an informal
stakeholder
meeting
to gather information on the effectiveness of State Plans. The agency encourages states to develop and operate
their own workplace safety and health plans, and as a condition of OSHA
approval, State Plans must provide standards and enforcement programs that are
“at least as effective as” the federal OSHA program. Currently there are 27 state occupational
safety and health plans.
For those interested, the
meeting will be held June 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the U.S. Department of
Labor. To participate or be a nonparticipating observer, individuals must
submit a notice of intent electronically no later than June 11. Interested
parties may also submit written comments.
