Advisory Council

The 16-member council advises the Secretary of Labor on all matters relating to the occupational safety and health of federal employees.

Criteria for the representative include:

  • Responsibility for occupational safety and health matters involving the federal workforce
  • Experience and competence in occupational safety and health

DOL prefers labor nominees who are responsible for federal employee occupational safety and health matters within their respective organizations.

Nominations can be submitted to the Federal eRulemaking Portal, Docket Number OSHA-2023-0012 by Feb. 23, 2024. 

People are encouraged to submit statements in support of particular nominees.
