Abstract:
OSHA's On-Site Consultation Service offers free and confidential advice to small and medium-sized businesses in all states across the country, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. Consultation services are totally separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or citations. The Consultation Program regulations specify services to be provided, and practices and procedures to be followed by the State On-site Consultation Programs. Information collection requirements set forth in the On-site Consultation Program regulations are in two categories: State Responsibilities and Employer Responsibilities.

Short Statement:
OSHA is requesting an extension of its current approval of the collection of information requirements for the regulation. The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 954 burden hours (from 215,704 hours to 214,750 hours). While better burden hour and costs estimates for completing documentation for the Safety and Health Program Assessment Worksheet for Full Service Safety and Health visits increased the burden hours, this was offset by the decrease in the number of On-site Consultation visits. In addition, the Agency is requesting OMB approval to update the Safety and Health Program Assessment Worksheet, OSHA Form 33, to include minor edits. First, the update is needed to reflect new terminology and revised requirements associated with the revised 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), 29 CFR 1910.1200. The revised HCS requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards. Accordingly, the Agency is revising the Form 33, Item #7, “Hazard Anticipation and Detection,” to be consistent with the revised HCS. The term “MSDS” has been changed to “SDS” with some grammatical edits for clarification. The Agency is also updating two terms used on Form 33 to be consistent with terms currently used by OSHA. OSHA now capitalizes the “S” in “Site” when referring to the “On-Site Consultation” Program. OSHA is also updating the term used to refer to the individual State offices that provide the On-Site Consultation services delivered by the States. Prior to 2017, OSHA had referred to these offices as “On-site Consultation Projects.” OSHA now uses the term, “On-Site Consultation Programs,” and the person who manages the program in each state is now referred to as the “On-Site Consultation Program Manager,” or “Consultation Program Manager.” In addition, the Agency is correcting a typo in the burden box changing the word “their” to “the” to make the sentence parallel to the regulatory text for 1908.6(h)(2).
