SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., workers filing 

occupational safety or health 

complaints) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et 

seq.) authorizes information collection 

by employers as necessary or 

appropriate for enforcement of the OSH 

Act or for developing information 

regarding the causes and prevention of 

occupational injuries, illnesses, and 

accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act 

also requires that OSHA obtain such 

information with minimum burden 

upon employers, especially those 

operating small businesses, and to 

reduce to the maximum extent feasible 

unnecessary duplication of efforts in 

obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

Under paragraphs (a) and (c) of 29 

CFR § 1903.11 (‘‘Complaints by 

employees’’) workers and their 

representatives may notify the OSHA 

area director or an OSHA compliance 

officer of safety and health hazards 

regulated by the Agency that they 

believe exist in their workplaces at any 

time. These provisions state further that 

this notification must be in writing and 

‘‘shall set forth with reasonable 

particularity the grounds for the notice, 

and shall be signed by the employee or 

representative of the employee.’’ 

In addition to providing specific 

hazard information to the Agency, 

paragraph (a) permits workers/worker 

representatives to request an inspection 

of the workplace. Paragraph (c) also 

addresses situations in which workers/ 

worker representatives may provide the 

information directly to the OSHA 

compliance officer during an inspection. 

An employer’s former workers may also 

submit complaints to the Agency. 

To address the requirements of 

paragraphs (a) and (c), especially the 

requirement that the information be in 

writing, the Agency developed the 

OSHA–7 Form; this form standardized 

and simplified the hazard reporting 

process. For paragraph (a), they may 

complete an OSHA–7 Form obtained 

from the Agency’s Web site and then 

send it to OSHA online, or deliver a 

hardcopy of the form to the OSHA area 

office by mail or facsimile, or by hand. 

They may also write a letter containing 

the information and hand deliver it to 

the area office, or send it by mail or 

facsimile. In addition, they may provide 

the information orally to the OSHA area 

office or another party (e.g., a Federal 

safety and health committee for Federal 

workers), in which case the area office 

or other party completes the hardcopy 

version of the form. For the typical 

situation addressed by paragraph (c), a 

worker/worker representative informs 

an OSHA compliance officer orally of 

the alleged hazard during an inspection, 

and the compliance officer then 

completes the hardcopy version of the 

OSHA–7 Form; occasionally, the 

worker/worker representative provides 

the compliance officer with the 

information on the hardcopy version of 

the OSHA–7 Form. 

The information in the hardcopy 

version of the OSHA–7 Form includes 

information about the employer and 

alleged hazards, including: the
