ASSE opposes federal rulemaking move, backs consensus standards instead
Citing the negative impact it could have on occupational safety and health, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) said it strongly opposes action by the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) that could harm the future development of timely and effective voluntary national consensus safety and health standards.
At issue is whether and how voluntary consensus standards should be made available when cited in a federal regulation.
