Title: Personal Protective Equipment (29 CFR 1910.132). OMB Number: 1218-0205 (extension). Frequency: On occasion. Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Federal Government; State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 63,500. Total Responses: 63,500. Estimated Time Per Respondent: Varies from five minutes to three hours. Total Burden Hours: 21,140. Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0. Total annual costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing services): 0. Description: The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) authorizes the promulgation of such health and safety standards as are necessary or appropriate to provide safe or healthful employment and places of employment. The statute specifically authorizes information collected by employers as necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents. In 219 CFR 1910.132, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), employers are required to perform a hazard assessment of the workplace and to certify that it has been performed. They are also required to certify that their employees have received, and understood PPE training. OSHA inspectors will require employers to provide them with access to information during Agency inspections. The documents, which can be written or computer generated, are needed to verify that employers are in compliance with the standard. Additionally, the documents may be used as a "grandfather" mechanism. That is, an employer can verify that an existing hazard assessment and/or training program already meets the standards. This will eliminate the need for the employer to reassess the workplace or retrain employees. Todd R. Owen, [FR Doc. 98-20927 Filed 8-4-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-27-M |
