On October 15, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intent
to nominate Cynthia L. Attwood to serve as a commissioner on the
Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC). If
confirmed by the Senate, this would be her third appointment to the
Review Commission, and she would, coincidentally, fill the third
seat on the three-commissioner panel.
Attwood first joined the Review Commission in February of 2010
after being nominated by President Barack Obama in November of 2009
to fill the remainder of a term that expired in 2013. She was
reappointed to her second term in August of 2013 and served until
her term ended in April of this year. Before her last term expired,
Attwood served alongside Commissioner James J. Sullivan Jr., who
has since been designated as the agency's chair, for over a
year and a half.
