Purpose: |
The purpose of this action is to revise the Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) sections of the general industry standards regarding requirements for eye- and face-protective devices, head protection, and foot
protection. OSHA is updating the references in its regulations to recognize more recent editions of the applicable national consensus
standards, and is deleting editions of the national consensus standards that PPE must meet if purchased before a specified date. These
revisions are a continuation of OSHA's effort to update or remove references to specific consensus and industry standards located
throughout its standards. |
