In response, the Secretary reestablished FACOSH and the Department of Labor (DOL) filed the FACOSH charter on October 14, 2021.

The FACOSH charter is available to read or download at                     *https://www.osha.gov.*                     In addition, the Secretary invites interested persons to submit nominations for membership on FACOSH.
