Did OSHA consider the Department of Labors Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by the Department of Labor (IQG) when drafting the guidelines?
Yes. When preparing the guidelines, OSHA reviewed the IQG. The IQG establishes “information quality” as a Departmental performance goal. “Quality” involves “utility” (the usefulness of the information), “objectivity” (whether the information is accurate, clear, complete, and unbiased), and “integrity” (the security of the information). In order to ensure that the guidelines adhered to the principles established in the IQG, OSHA reviewed all of the statements in the guidelines to make certain that they were clear, accurate, and presented in a manner that was unbiased and maximized their usefulness to the public. OSHA also reviewed the references in the document to ensure they adhered to the principles of the IQG.
