The committee provides valuable advice to OSHA and NIOSH on an ongoing basis regarding current issues under consideration,
and has been especially active in providing input on a range of issues during its current term. For example, at its most recent
meeting on June 22, 2011, the committee provided recommendations regarding the development of OSHA’s Injury and Illness Prevention
proposed rule (such as including an evaluation component as part of required programs and convening a symposium to address
best practices); recommendations on the design and use of recordkeeping and surveillance systems (such as adding employee
groups not currently covered and improving efficiency by having data reported electronically); recommendations to promulgate
a final rule for an MSD column on the OSHA 300 log and to issue a proposed silica standard “without further delay”; recommendations
arising from OSHA’s response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill; recommendations regarding NIOSH and OSHA carcinogen policies;
and recommendations regarding funding for NIOSH education and research centers.Examples of other recommendations that have
been made by the committee in the past include: recommendations for improving communication and coordination of activities
between NIOSH and OSHA; recommendations regarding workplace violence; recommendations for a regulation addressing needlestick
injuries; and recommendations related to the rulemaking process.
