6. A work environment where all cargo tank industry stakeholders live out the primary core value of safety first - and always.This environment will be one in which all stakeholders work in harmony to design industry-standard education, work processes, and equipment design measures that will keep workers safe on and around cargo tanks.Furthermore, the stakeholders will be represented by a committee of representatives from across the industry that are empowered with their respective segments knowledge and support to create and publish such guidance in a way that will be most widely accepted, universally applicable, and engineers out risk to workers as much as is reasonably possible.
Vision Statement

Objectives
24. OSHA NPRM
Published May 24, 2010 (293 pages!)
OSHA is seeking comment on whether it should include requirements (covering workers on motor vehicles).
References documents of the past two decades pondering OSHAs role relative to motor vehicles.
25. OSHA NPRM
OSHA is not including any specific requirements pertinent to motor vehicles in proposed 1910.28.Rather, it will wait until the record is more fully developed to determine the appropriate course of action.If, in response to this issue, the Agency receivers sufficient comments and evidence to warrant additional rulemaking, a separate proposed rule will be issued.
26. OSHA NPRM
Q1:How many employees working on the top of motor vehicles are exposed to fall hazards?
Q2:How are these employees protected from fall hazards while working on such equipment?
Q3:Describe the nature and frequency of training.
Q4:Provide detailed information on the types and costs of the fall protection used on motor vehicles.
27. Q5:Explain what technological and/or economic obstacles prevent use of fall protection.
Q6:Are there alternative means to protect employees from fall hazards while working on motor vehicles?
Q7:What is your safety experience with fall hazards on or from motor vehicles?
Q8:Should OSHA exclude motor vehicles from coverage under Subpart D?
