Maritime Advisory Committee on 

Safety and Health (MACOSH) 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Membership announcement of 

the re-established Maritime Advisory 

Committee on Safety and Health 

(MACOSH). 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Labor has 

reestablished the charter of the Maritime 

Advisory Committee for Occupational 

Safety and Health (MACOSH), which 

expired on April 1, 2005. The purpose 

of MACOSH is to obtain advice for the 

Assistance Secretary of Labor for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(Assistant Secretary) from a broad range 

of representatives from the maritime 

industry on all matters relevant to the 

safety and health of employees in that 

sector. The Assistant Secretary will seek 

the advice of this committee on 

activities in the maritime industry 

related to the priorities set for the 

Agency, including: Strong, fair and 

effective enforcement; expanded 

compliance assistance, guidance and 

outreach; expanded partnerships and 

voluntary programs; leadership in the 

national dialogue on occupational safety 

and health; and regulatory matters 

affecting the maritime industry, as 

appropriate. 

The committee is diverse and 

balanced, both in terms of segments of 

the maritime industry represented (e.g., 

shipyard and longshoring industries), 

and in the views or interests represented 

by the members. The Maritime Advisory 

Committee for Occupational Safety and 

Health has been reestablished and 

chartered for a two year term.

Maddux, Director, Office of Maritime,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On June 26, 2006, the Secretary of 

Labor announced her intention to 

reestablish a Maritime Advisory 

Committee on Safety and Health (71 FR 

32374). The maritime industry has 

historically had a high incidence of 

illnesses and injuries. The types of work 

performed can be quite different in 

various parts of the industry, ranging 

from manufacturing type work in 

shipyards to longshoring operations. 

OSHA has targeted this industry for 

special attention because of the 

incidence of illnesses and injuries, and 

the specialized nature of some of the 

work. This targeting has included 

development of guidance or outreach 

materials specific to the industry, as 

well as rulemaking to update 

requirements, and other activities to 

help focus attention on the industry and 

reduce the occurrence of illnesses and 

injuries. This committee will be used to 

advise OSHA on these ongoing activities 

and in new areas where the Agency 

chooses to pursue or expand its 

programs and projects to further address 

these specific needs. The advice of the 

committee will help the Agency in 

terms of substantive input on conditions 

in the industry, recommendations that 

could be implemented to reduce 

illnesses and injuries, and feedback on 

Agency initiatives in the maritime 

industry. 

II. Establishment 

The committee will function solely as 

an advisory body, and in compliance 

with the provisions of Section 7(b) of 

the OSHA Act (29 U.S.C. 656), the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 20), and 41 CFR part 102–

3. 

III. Appointment of Committee 

Members 

Over forty nominations of highly 

qualified individuals were received in 

response to the Agency’s request for 

nominations. Maritime safety and health 

involves a wide range of complex 

issues. For that reason, the Secretary has 

selected to serve on the committee the 

following individuals who have broad 

experience relevant to the issues to be 

examined by the Committee. The 

MACOSH members are: 

Stewart Adams, U.S. Department of the 

Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command 

(NAVSEA). 

James D. Burgin, Cooper/T. Smith 

Corporation.

meeting in September or October of this 

year. As soon as meeting arrangements

discussed, in the Federal Register.
