OSHA: Public listening sessions seek public input on chemical safety



As part of executive order 13650, Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security, the Department of Labor is partnering with the Department of Homeland Security, Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies to host a series of public listening sessions and webinars to solicit comments and suggestions from stakeholders to reduce safety and security risks in the production and storage of potentially harmful chemicals.

The next listening session is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2013, at the Valencia Criminal Justice Institute, at 8600 Valencia College Lane, Auditorium-150, in Orlando, Fla. The next online webinar is scheduled for Dec. 16, 2013.

Additional listening sessions may be scheduled in December 2013 and January 2014. Previous public listening sessions were held in Springfield, Ill., Texas City, Texas and Washington, D.C. and the first webinar occurred on Nov. 25. To attend a public listening session and/or a webinar or to make a comment or presentation, participants must register at www.GovEvents.com. For more information, see the Federal Register notice.
