information collection requirements require an Occupational Safety and 
Health Act (OSH Act) covered employer subject to the Standard to train 
workers about hazards of asbestos, to monitor worker exposure, to 
provide medical surveillance, and to maintain accurate records of 
worker exposure to asbestos. The employer, workers, and Government
