| 2023-18695 | Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process | Proposed Rule | OSHA is proposing to amend its Representatives of Employers and Employees regulation to clarify that the representative(s) authorized by employees may be an employee of the employer or a third party; such third-party employee representative(s) may accompany the OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO) when they are reasonably necessary to aid in the inspection. OSHA is also proposing clarifications of the relevant knowledge, skills, or experience with hazards or conditions in the workplace or similar workplaces, or language skills of third-party representative(s) authorized by employees who may be reasonably necessary to the conduct of a CSHO's physical inspection of the workplace. OSHA has preliminarily determined that the proposed changes will aid OSHA's workplace inspections by better enabling employees to select a representative of their choice to accompany the CSHO during a physical workplace inspection. Employee representation during the inspection is critically important to ensuring OSHA obtains the necessary information about worksite conditions and hazards. The agency requests comments regarding the proposed revisions. | 2023-08-30 | 2023 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/08/30/2023-18695/worker-walkaround-representative-designation-process | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-08-30/pdf/2023-18695.pdf | Labor Department; Occupational Safety and Health Administration | 271,386 | OSHA is proposing to amend its Representatives of Employers and Employees regulation to clarify that the representative(s) authorized by employees may be an employee of the employer or a third party; such third-party employee representative(s) may... | 1218-AD45 |
