SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The warning signs/barriers required
by paragraph 1926.701(c)(2) reduce
exposure of non-essential workers to the
hazards of post-tensioning operations,
principally a failed rope or wire striking
a worker and causing serious injury.
The requirements for lockout and tag
ejection systems and other hazardous
equipment (e.g., compressors, mixers,
screens or pumps used for concrete and
masonry construction) specified by
paragraphs 1926.702(a)(2), (j)(1), and
(j)(2) warn equipment operators not to
activate their equipment if another
worker enters the equipment to perform
a task (e.g., cleaning, inspecting,
maintaining, repairing), thereby
preventing injury or death.
Construction contractors and workers
use the drawings, plans, and designs
required by paragraph 1926.703(a)(2) to
provide specific instructions on how to
construct, erect, brace, maintain, and
remove shores and formwork if they
pour concrete at the job site. Paragraph
1926.705(b) requires employers to mark
the rated capacity of jacks and lifting
units. This requirement prevents
overloading and subsequent collapse of
jacks and lifting units, as well as their
loads, thereby sparing exposed workers
from serious injury or death.
I. Background
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
