Washington — OSHA is seeking nominations for membership on its Maritime Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health.
MACOSH advises the secretary of labor on matters relating to occupational safety and health programs, enforcement, new initiatives, and standards for maritime industries. Members of the 15-person committee are appointed by the secretary of labor and represent government, workers, employers and professional organizations.
According to a notice published Nov. 7, MACOSH members serve two-year terms. The terms of current committee members are all set to expire April 13.
OSHA is seeking “committed members who have a strong interest in the safety and health of workers in the maritime industries.” The deadline to submit nominations is Jan. 6.
MACOSH is set to meet virtually at 9 a.m. Eastern on Dec. 3. A meeting of the committee’s shipyard and longshoring workgroups will follow at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.
On Nov. 21, acting Labor Secretary Julie Su renewed the charter for MACOSH.
