OSHA issues updates to its industry-defining rules periodically. Here are two recent changes to take note of.
What are the latest OSHA rules updates?
Complying with the rules and regulations set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is essential for companies of all industries, sizes and descriptions. From the busiest factory floor to the most sedate office space, each workplace has its own OSHA rules to follow. When creating programs to ensure compliance, leaders should make sure they’re reaching all relevant personnel with bulletins and training – and also that the information they’re passing along is up to date.
When OSHA issues a change to its rules, it gives companies a grace period to begin compliance. Once that deadline passes, however, firms that haven’t caught up may find themselves subject to legal penalties. For this reason, leaders should pay frequent attention to announcements from the government agency. The following are two examples of recent amendments, one covering a vast number of industries and the other focused specifically on crane operation.
