Occupational Safety and Health Administration Compliance Assistance Authorization Act of 1998

Summary

Occupational Safety and Health Administration Compliance Assistance Authorization Act of 1997 - Amends the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) to direct the Secretary of Labor to establish a compliance assistance program of cooperative agreements with the States, under which employers may consult with State officials about compliance with occupational safety and health requirements as well as voluntary efforts employers may undertake. Requires States, under such agreements, to provide on-site consultation upon employer request. Authorizes States to provide other education and training programs for employers and employees. Requires such program activities to be conducted independently of enforcement activities. Exempts employers from certain inspections if they request and undergo on-site consultative visits and correct identified hazards and agree to request subsequent visits if there are major changes in working conditions or processes which introduce new hazards. Requires at least 90 percent of funds appropriated for compliance assistance activities under OSHA to be used for such compliance assistance program.
