NLBMDA urges members to take action on OSHA crane rule

NLBMDA has been working over the last several years to repeal the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) 2016 Letter of Interpretation (LOI) regarding the Crane and Derricks in Construction Standard exemption for material delivery.

OSHA has been unresponsive to NLBMDA’s numerous formal requests to withdraw the 2016 LOI. As a result, NLBMDA has decided to engage Congress for assistance and is partnering with Rep. Ron Wright (R-TX), member of the House Education and Labor Committee, to send a letter to OSHA from the House of Representatives demanding that they rescind the LOI. The letter is now open for signatures and can be signed by any representative in the House through July 17.

Now, NLBMDA is asking all of its members to reach out to the legislative staff of their respective representatives to request that they join Rep. Wright in signing the letter. Below you will find detailed information on how to contact your representative’s office including outreach instructions, staff email addresses, a copy of the letter and a one-page issue brief:
