SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (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 effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). Falls are a 

leading cause of death for employees. 

According to 2019 Bureau of Labor 

Statistics data, falls accounted for 418 of 

the 1,061 construction fatalities, and 

880 of the 5,333 fatalities in all recorded 

industries. The National Fall Safety 

Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in 

Construction raises fall hazard 

awareness across the country in an 

effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries. 

The Stand-Down is the biggest safety 

outreach event ever conducted by the 

agency. OSHA has collaborated with 

countless industry leaders and 

employers over the last eight years to 

reach over 10 million workers during 

Stand-Downs. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on 2/15/2022 (87 FR 

8614). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–OSHA.

Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in
