      OSHA, USDA SIGN AGREEMENT PROMISING FUTURE COOPERATION

  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S.
  Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA) agreed June 21 to
  share information associated with grain dust accumulation in warehouses
  that presents a hazard to employees.

  "This memorandum of understanding between OSHA and FSA is vital if we are
  to promote safety in grain warehouses," said Charles N. Jeffress, OSHA
  administrator.

  The agreement results from discussion between the two agencies on the need
  to more closely coordinate each other's activities. Besides the hazards of
  fire and explosion, excessive grain dust jeopardizes the quality of the
  stored product. FSA personnel routinely examine grain storage facilities
  for these conditions, noting any problems in reports to their supervisors
  and warehouse operators.

  Under the terms of the agreement, FSA supervisors now will immediately
  notify OSHA regional administrators of their notations regarding dust
  accumulation. Then, OSHA will take action to determine if the dust levels
  are excessive and potentially dangerous.

  Jeffress also noted that FSA examiners will not serve as OSHA inspectors.
  "OSHA still remains the agency responsible for protecting the health and
  safety of grain industry workers," he said.
