2、vision of ANSI Z4.4-1995 ANSI American National Standard: For Sanitation In Fields and Temporary Labor Camps: Minimum Requirements 3 4 American National Standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.4-2016 Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consens
3、us and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached through directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a s
4、imple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objectives be considered and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether
5、s/he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using products, processes or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American Natio

14、camps, or both. Work on this project was begun in 1966 by a subcommittee of the U.S. Standards Committee on Safety for Industrial Sanitation, Z4. On March 8, 1968 the standard was approved as an American National Standard. On September 1, 1972, the National Congress of Hispanic American Citizens fil
15、ed a petition asking OSHA to issue a standard for agricultural workers requiring employers to provide potable drinking water and hand washing and toilet facilities in the field. Pursuant to a 1982 court-approved settlement agreement that resolved almost ten years of litigation surrounding OSHAs acti
16、vities in connection with this issue, the agency on March 1, 1984 published a notice of proposed rule-making and a request for comments. A new regulation became effective on May 30, 1987, when employers were required to provide facilities as specified in 1928.110(c) (1). For compliance with requirem
17、ents for the provision of toilet and hand washing facilities in accordance with 1928.110(c) (2), and for their maintenance in accordance with 1928.110(c) (3), the 1984 proposal specified that where eleven or more such field workers were employed, these facilities must be provided. The facilities use
18、d by farm workers at sites where fewer than eleven workers are employed are also a matter of great concern, for these workers also have a need for adequate clean sanitary facilities. The success or failure of clean portable restroom facilities is dependent upon the availability of proper number of f
19、acilities and their proper usage. The limited capacity of these units creates the need for proper service on a scheduled basis. This standard reflects the most up-to-date human engineering and state-of-the-art chemicals and procedures. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. Th
20、ey should be sent to the Portable Sanitation Association International, 2626 E. 82ndStreet, Suite 175, Bloomington, MN 55425 or to infopsai.org. Consensus for this standard was achieved by use of the Canvass Method. 8 2016 by the Portable Sanitation Association International; all rights reserved. Am
