The OTC engineers evaluate new equipment being considered for OSHA’s use and develop protocols to test this new equipment to verify it works properly and meets OSHA’s inspection needs. This can include testing instruments in varying environmental conditions, such as extreme temperature, humidity, and checking compliance for Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL’s) standards for use in hazardous locations. Instrument evaluation includes checking for accuracy, safety approvals, functionality, desirable operational features, environmental effects on the instrument, cost, standardization, and serviceability. The independent instrument evaluations allow OTC to advise OSHA’s other directorates on equipment purchases and provides vital equipment operating information to federal field offices, national offices, and OSHA state consultation program offices. In addition, the engineers are continually reviewing the current inventory of equipment to ensure that the manufacturers still support the equipment and that repair parts are still available.

The Center is looking to replace an obsolete, very difficult to move light system with a modernized system.

The proposed acquisition will be classified under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: 334519 – Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing.
