    Description: The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the 
Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by 
employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for 
developing information regarding the causes and prevention of 
occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The 
information-collection requirements specified by the Electrical 
Standards for Construction and General Industry alert employees to the 
presence and types of electrical hazards in the workplace, thereby preventing 
serious injury and death by electrocution. The information-collection requirements 
in the standards involve the following: The employer using electrical equipment 
that is marked by the manufacturer's name, trademark, or other descriptive 
markings that identify the producer of the equipment, and marking the 
equipment with the voltage, current, wattage, or other ratings 
necessary; requiring each disconnecting means for motors and appliances 
to be marked legibly to indicate its purpose, unless located and 
arranged so the purpose is evident; requiring the entrances to rooms 
and other guarded locations containing exposed live parts to be marked 
with conspicuous warning signs forbidding unqualified persons from 
entering; and, for construction employers only, establishing and 
implementing the assured equipment grounding conductor program instead 
of using ground-fault circuit interrupters.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
