On August 7, 2000 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The purpose of the MOU is to enhance safety and health in the aviation industry. In the MOU, FAA and OSHA agreed to establish a joint team (FAA/OSHA Aviation Safety and Health Team) to identify the factors to be considered in determining whether OSHA requirements can be applied to the working conditions of employees on aircraft in operation (other than flight deck crew) without compromising aviation safety. The MOU calls for the joint team to produce a first report, within 120 days of the date of execution of the MOU, that addresses whether and to what extent OSHA's existing standards and regulations on recordkeeping, bloodborne pathogens, noise, sanitation, hazard communication, anti-discrimination, and access to employee exposure/medical records may be applied to employees on aircraft in operation (other than flight deck crew) without compromising aviation safety. This report fulfills the objectives identified in the MOU. It is not intended to modify, supplement, or replace any federal standard, policy, or legal interpretation. Matters for further consideration are included to provide a framework for addressing the ultimate goals established in the MOU.
