Occupational Safety and Health Administration


Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health: Request for 
Nomination of Members

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. 
Department of Labor.

ACTION: Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH): 
Request for Nomination of Members.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and 
Health invites and requests the public to nominate individuals by July 
31, 1997, for appointment to the Advisory Committee on Construction 
Safety and Health. ACCSH is authorized under section 107(e)(1) of the 
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 333) and 
section 7(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 
U.S.C. 656). The function of ACCSH is to advise the Assistant Secretary 
on occupational safety and health standards in the construction 
industry and policy affecting federally-financed or federally-assisted 
construction.
    ACCSH meets two to four times per year for one or two days per 
meeting. Some terms will expire on August 15, 1998, and others on 
August 15, 1999. Any member absent from two consecutive meetings will 
be replaced for the duration of his or her term.
    The five categories of membership and the number of representatives 
to be appointed in each category are listed below:
     Representatives of employee interests (five).
     Representatives of employer interests (five).
     Representatives of State safety and health agencies (two).
     Representatives qualified by knowledge and experience 
related to construction safety and health (two). This includes 
representatives of professional safety and health groups or standards-
producing groups.
     Representatives from, and appointed by, the National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (not appointed by OSHA).
    Nominees must have specific experience and be actively engaged in 
work related to occupational safety and health in the construction 
industry. Members (other than representatives of employers and 
employees) must not have an economic interest in any proposed standard. 
Nominations for a particular category of membership should come from 
groups or people within that category.
    OSHA requires the particular information listed below. Nominations 
must include (1) nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, (2) all 
categories of membership for which the nominee can serve, (3) nominee's 
involvement in federally-funded or federally-assisted construction, (4) 
a summary of background, experience and qualifications that makes the 
nominee well-suited for each of those particular categories of 
membership, (5) the nominee's date of birth, (6) the nominee's Social 
Security number, (7) the nominee's current address, (8) the nominee's 
telephone number, (9) the nominee's fax number (if available), and (10) 
the nominee's e-mail address (if available). In addition, each 
nomination must state that the nominee is (11) aware of the nomination, 
(12) willing to serve, (13) able to attend meetings, and (14) free of 
apparent conflicts of interest that would preclude unbiased service on 
ACCSH. Nominations of past or existing members must also include (15) 
the period of previous appointment(s), (16) a list of all ACCSH and 
workgroup meetings attended and missed, and (17) a summary of 
significant contributions made in producing written recommendations to 
OSHA. The nomination should also include a writing sample authored 
solely by the nominee and a description of the nominee's oral 
communications skills.
    The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the 
workplace and seeks a broad-based and diverse ACCSH membership. Send 
nominations no later than July 31, 1997, to Ms. Teresa M.B. Martinez, 
Department of Labor, OSHA, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-2315, 
Washington, D.C. 20210. For further information, contact Ms. Martinez 
at 202-219-6091.
