Have Ideas to Improve OSHA's Fall Safety Stand-Down Program?

Posted on 11/5/2024 by Lion Technology Inc.

OSHA’s National Fall Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is an effort to raise fall hazard awareness across the country and stop fall fatalities and injuries.

Employers participating in the Stand-Down program are asked to fill out a questionnaire to confirm their participation. OSHA is seeking public comments on whether that questionnaire (OMB No. 1218-0271) is useful and whether the Agency is collecting the right information.

View the request for public comment.

Specifically, the Agency wants feedback on the following issues.

Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful;

The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and

Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply. For example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!
