NBAA: OSHA Rules not Needed for Bizav Cabin Crews

NBAA has warned the FAA of the “specter of additional oversight and regulation of business aircraft operations” stemming from the agency’s proposal to allow Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) oversight of aircraft cabin workplace safety issues. The proposed policy, required by the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, could establish OSHA oversight of occupational safety and health requirements, such as recordkeeping, bloodborne pathogens, noise, sanitation and hazard communication, among others, for non-flight-deck crewmembers.
