The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is conducting “lookback” reviews of final standards in accordance with the regulatory review provisions at Section 5 of Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, 51739, October 4, 1993) and Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The purpose of these reviews is to determine whether the subject final standards should be maintained without change, rescinded, or modified. This session will discuss the lookback process, in detail, as applied to OSHA’s Grain Handling Standard. In particular, OSHA's Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) database will be discussed. This database is used by many researchers for various research projects, and this case study will discuss in detail the use of the IMIS database for the Grain Handling Standard lookback review.
Learning Objectives: * identify and analyze the information and data that can be derived from OSHA's Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) database which were necessary for OSHA's Grain Handling Standard lookback review; * in particular, assess the strengths and weaknesses of OSHA’s IMIS database in determining suffocation fatalities for the Grain Handling Standard lookback review.
