II. Request for Nominations for
Membership on ACCSH
The Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA
Assistant Secretary) invites interested
persons to submit nominations for
membership on ACCSH.
Background: ACCSH is a continuing
advisory committee established under
Section 107(e) of the CSA to advise the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) in the
formulation of construction safety and
health standards, as well as on policy
matters arising under the CSA and the
OSH Act. In particular, 29 CFR
1911.10(a) and 1912.3(a) provide that
the Assistant Secretary shall consult
with ACCSH whenever the Agency
proposes any safety or health standard
that affects the construction industry.
ACCSH operates in accordance with
the CSA, the OSH Act, the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5
U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued
pursuant to those statutes (29 CFR part
1912, 41 CFR part 102–3). ACCSH
generally meets two to four times a year.
ACCSH membership: ACCSH consists
of 15 members whom the Secretary
appoints. ACCSH members generally
serve staggered 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. No member of
ACCSH, other than members who
represent employers or employees, shall
have an economic interest in any
proposed rule that affects the
construction industry (29 CFR 1912.6).
The categories of ACCSH
membership, and the number of new
members to be appointed to replace
members whose terms have expired, are:
• Five members who are qualified by
experience and affiliation to present the
viewpoint of employers in the
construction industry—two employer
representatives will be appointed;
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

will be appointed;
• Two representatives of State safety
and health agencies—one representative

will be appointed;
• 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—one public representative will
be appointed; and
• One representative designated by
the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services and
appointed by the Secretary—no new
appointment will be made.
The Department of Labor is
committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and
diverse ACCSH membership. Any
interested person or organization may
nominate one or more individuals for
membership on ACCSH. Interested
persons also are invited and encouraged
to submit statements in support of
nominees.
Submission requirements:
Nominations must include the following

• Nominee’s contact information and
current employment or position;
´
´
• Nominee’s resume or curriculum

ACCSH and other relevant organizations
and associations;

health agency) that the nominee is

experience, and qualifications that
addresses the nominee’s suitability for
each of the nominated membership
categories;
• Articles or other documents the
nominee has authored that indicate the
nominee’s knowledge, experience, and

health, particularly as it pertains to the
construction industry; and
• A statement that the nominee is
aware of the nomination, is willing to
regularly attend and participate in
ACCSH meetings, and has no conflicts
of interest that would preclude
membership on ACCSH.

safety and health, particularly as it

II. Request for Nominations for Membership on ACCSH
The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health
(OSHA Assistant Secretary) invites interested persons to submit
nominations for membership on ACCSH.
Background: ACCSH is a continuing advisory committee established
under Section 107(e) of the CSA to advise the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) in the formulation of construction safety and health
standards, as well as on policy matters arising under the CSA and the
OSH Act. In particular, 29 CFR 1911.10(a) and 1912.3(a) provide that
the Assistant Secretary shall consult with ACCSH whenever the Agency
proposes any safety or health standard that affects the construction
industry.
ACCSH operates in accordance with the CSA, the OSH Act, the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued
pursuant to those statutes (29 CFR part 1912, 41 CFR part 102-3). ACCSH
generally meets two to four times a year.
ACCSH membership: ACCSH consists of 15 members whom the Secretary
appoints. ACCSH members generally serve staggered 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. No member of ACCSH, other
than members who represent employers or employees, shall have an
economic interest in any proposed rule that affects the construction
industry (29 CFR 1912.6).
The categories of ACCSH membership, and the number of new members
to be appointed to replace members whose terms have expired, are:
Five members who are qualified by experience and
affiliation to present the viewpoint of employers in the construction
industry--two employer representatives will be appointed;
Five members who are similarly qualified to present the
viewpoint of employees in the construction industry--two employee
representatives will be appointed;
Two representatives of State safety and health agencies--
one representative from a State safety and health agency will be
appointed;
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--one public
representative will be appointed; and
One representative designated by the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services and appointed by the
Secretary--no new appointment will be made.
The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and diverse ACCSH membership. Any
interested person or organization may nominate one or more individuals
for membership on ACCSH. Interested persons also are invited and
encouraged to submit statements in support of nominees.
Submission requirements: Nominations must include the following

Nominee's contact information and current employment or
position;

including prior membership on ACCSH and other relevant organizations
and associations;

safety and health agency) that the nominee is qualified to represent;
A summary of the background, experience, and
qualifications that addresses the nominee's suitability for each of the
nominated membership categories;
Articles or other documents the nominee has authored that
indicate the nominee's knowledge, experience, and expertise in
occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the
construction industry; and
A statement that the nominee is aware of the nomination,
is willing to regularly attend and participate in ACCSH meetings, and
has no conflicts of interest that would preclude membership on ACCSH.

occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the
construction industry.
