OSHA: Proposed Revised PPE Rule

OSHA Proposes Revised PPE Rule for Construction Industry: How Should Employers Prepare?

Federal workplace safety officials just announced they are seeking to revise the national Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standard for the construction industry to explicitly state that PPE must fit each affected employee properly – a proposed change that would require many construction employers to ramp up their workplace safety efforts. OSHA’s proposed revision to the standard announced on July 19 would align the PPE standard for construction with that of general industry and maritime standards, which already explicitly mandate that PPE properly fit workers. What do construction employers need to know about this proposal and what should you do to prepare? Click here to read the full article on this proposal as published by Fisher Phillips.
