Question 1: Are there requirements imposed by current OHA guidance that seem excessive or unnecessary?
Question 2: Are there issues in your industry or workplace that are not adequately addressed by existing requirements?
Question 3: Are there apparent contradictions or inconsistencies in requirements that do not make sense to you?
Question 4: If a rule is adopted, what are the two or three things that you think are most important for the rule to address?
Question 5: What are the two or three areas where you think employers most need help to keep their workers safe?
