Description

American workers interact with many types of products that could pose risks to their safety. The Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) program, administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Admin.äó»s (OSHA, works to support employers and workers by establishing a process for safety-testing certain equipment and other products for use in the U.S. workplace. Under this program, which is supported by user fees, OSHA accredits third-party labs as NRTLs, which then determine whether certain types of products meet safety standards. Because the availability of NRTLs is essential to ensuring that employers have timely access to products that meet safety standards, this report examined (1) how long it takes to make accreditation decisions and the key factors that affect timeliness; and (2) the extent to which OSHA has adopted commonly used strategies for improving timeliness. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
