Subpart I also requires that employers train affected workers in the use of PPE and provide training under certain circumstances. Employers must document that the hazard assessment and training/retraining have been conducted.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: OSHA is requesting an adjustment decrease in the burden hours of the paperwork requirements in 29 CFR part 1910, subpart I from 3,953,759 hours to 3,552,171 hours, for a total decrease of 401,588 hours. The adjustment decrease is due primarily to a decrease in the number of establishments with 20 or more workers conducting initial assessment hazards. The percentages are much lower for the establishments with 20 or more workers. The significant increase in the number of responses is mainly due to the increase in the number of affected workers from 33.7 million to 43.6 million workers. The rise in the estimated number of workers using PPE is a result from retrofitting SIC-based survey data to NAICS census data for benchmarking totals; and reweighting the PPE survey to correct earlier anomalies in the results.
