OSHA is proposing an increase
adjustment to the burden hours from 170,098 hours to 220,789 hours,

update of the industry profile information, and by extension, the
estimated number of affected establishments. The Agency is
increasing the cost of the purchase of caution and warning signs
from $11,682,603 to $18,406,403, a difference of $6,723,800. The
total cost annualized over a five year period to the employer is
$3,772,760. This is an increase of 1,365,928 from the previous
estimate of 2,406,833.
