WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor is seeking nominations for membership to its newly re-established Federal Advisory Council on Occupational Safety and Health, which advises the Secretary of Labor on all matters relating to the occupational safety and health of federal employees. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh reauthorized the council’s two-year charter Oct. 1 to begin the process of re-establishing the 16-member council. Members advise the Secretary on how to reduce the number of injuries and illnesses in the federal workforce, and how to encourage each federal Executive Branch department and agency to establish and maintain effective occupational safety and health programs. By charter, eight members will represent management in federal departments and agencies, and eight will represent federal employees. Read the Federal Register notice for submission instructions. Submit nominations electronically, and refer to Docket No. OSHA-2021-0010 at www.regulations.gov, the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Submit nominations by Nov. 1, 2021. OSHA anticipates filling all vacancies by December 2021. (Source: DoL 10/21/21)
