[Docket No. ICR 1218-0093(2004)]
SUMMARY: OSHA solicits comments concerning its request for an extension of the information collection requirements specified by the Construction Standards on Posting Emergency Telephone Numbers and Floor Load Limits (paragraph (f) of § 1926.50 and paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.50, respectively). Under § 1926.50(f), employers must post emergency telephone numbers at the worksite if the 911 emergency telephone service is not available, while § 1926.50(a)(2) requires employers to post the maximum safe load limits of floors located in storage areas inside buildings or other structures, unless the floors are on grade.
DATES: Comments must be submitted by the following dates;
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by OSHA Docket No. ICR-1218-0093(2004), by any of the following methods:
Two Construction standards, "Medical Services and First Aid" (§ 1926.50), and "General Requirements for Storage" (§ 1926.250), contain posting provisions. Paragraph (f) of § 1926.50 requires employers to post emergency telephone numbers for physicians, hospitals, or ambulances at the worksite if the 911 emergency telephone services is not available; in the event an employee has a serious injury at the worksite, this posting requirement expedites emergency medical treatment of the employee. Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.250 specifies that employers must post the maximum safe load limits of floors located in storage areas inside buildings or other structures, unless the floors are on grade. This provision prohibits employers from overloading floors in areas used to store material and equipment in multi-story units that are under construction, thereby preventing the floors from collapsing and seriously injuring employees.
OSHA is proposing to extend the information collection requirements specified by paragraph (f) of § 1926.50 and paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.250. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in its request to OMB to extend the approval of these information collection requirements contained in the Standard.
