Opis

This NEP is implemented to direct OSHA's field inspection efforts to address lead exposures in the workplace, including General Industry (1910), Construction (1926), Shipyards (1915), Longshoring (1918), and Marine Terminals (1917). These efforts meet the Department's Strategic Plan goals in addressing the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). As a result of this Act, Federal agencies must demonstrate improved performance and devise a system for measuring results. As stated in the DOL's Strategic Plan 2006-2011 ..".DOL will continue to direct inspections and outreach at establishments and industries with the highest injury, illness, and fatality rates and will respond to complaints of serious workplace hazards. ...These efforts will be supplemented by National and Local Emphasis Programs designed to target unsafe conditions or high hazard industries." The reduction of occupational illnesses and employee exposures to lead continues to be one of the Agency's goals. This document supercedes the previous OSHA Instruction for a National Emphasis Program: Lead, CPL 02-00-130, formerly, CPL 02-0.130, dated July 20, 2001. Appendix A is a list of industries included to assist OSHA's field offices in determining industries for targeting. The data for this appendix were provided by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health under the Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance Program for the calendar year 2002. OSHA has analyzed this data to determine those industries where elevated blood lead levels indicate a need for increased focus in evaluation of airborne lead exposures.
