Proposed Rule Phase
• Title: Combustible Dust
– The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) completed a study of
combustible dust hazards in late 2006, which identified 281
combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that killed 119
workers and injured another 718.
– CSB recommended OSHA to pursue a rulemaking on this issue.
– On July 31, 2005, OSHA published the Safety and Health
Information Bulletin, "Combustible Dust in Industry: Preventing and
Mitigating the Effects of Fire and Explosions."
– OSHA implemented a Combustible Dust National Emphasis
Program (NEP) March 11, 2008.
– ANPRM October 21, 2009 –
– Stakeholder meetings - 2009 and 2010
– Webchat for combustible dust - June 28, 2010.
– Initiate SBREFA – 4/00/2014.
Proposed Rule Phase
• Title: Injury and Illness Prevention Program
– It involves planning, implementing, evaluating, and
improving processes and activities that protect
employee safety and health.
– Build on voluntary Safety and Health Program
Management Guidelines), published in 1989, VPP,
SHARP, ANSI/AIHA Z10 and Occupational Health and
Safety Assessment Series 18001.
– Twelve States have similar rules.
– Stakeholder Meetings - 06/03/2010
– Initiate SBREFA 0 - 1/06/2012
– NPRM - 09/00/2014
Proposed Rule Phase
• Title: Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and
Illnesses
– An updated and modernized reporting system would enable a
more efficient and timely collection of data and would improve
the accuracy and availability of the relevant records and
statistics.
– This proposal involves modification to 29 CFR part 1904.41 to
expand OSHA's legal authority to collect and make available
injury and illness information required under part 1904.
– Stakeholder Meetings - 05/25/2010
– Comment Period End - 06/18/2010
– NPRM – 11/8/2013
Proposed Rule Phase
• Title: Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica
– OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) for general industry is
based on a formula proposed by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) in 1968
– PEL for construction and shipyards (derived from ACGIH's 1970
Threshold Limit Value) is based on particle counting technology,
which is considered obsolete.
– Completed SBREFA Report - 12/19/2003
– Initiated Peer Review of Health
Effects and Risk Assessment – 05/22/2009
– Completed Peer Review - 01/24/2010

•
•
•
50 ug/m3 respirable crystalline silica
Preferred methods for controlling exposure
Respiratory protection,
Medical surveillance,
Hazard communication, and Recordkeeping.
Proposed Rule Phase

– 1999 and 2001, OSHA was petitioned to issue an emergency
temporary standard by the United Steel Workers, Public Citizen
Health Research Group, and others.
• OSHA is currently conducting a scientific peer review of its draft risk
assessment
• Economic peer review was scheduled to be completed in June 2011.

Final Rule Phase
• Title: Confined Spaces in Construction
• Abstract: In January 1993, OSHA issued a general
industry rule to protect employees who enter confined
spaces - 1910.146). This standard does not apply to the
construction industry because of unique characteristics
of construction worksites. Pursuant to discussions with
the United Steel Workers of America that led to a
settlement agreement regarding the general industry
standard, OSHA agreed to issue a proposed rule to
protect construction workers in confined spaces
• Final Action: 2/00/2014

Required Confined Spaces (PRCS)

• Engineering Controls Options for hazards
within the spaces
• Personal Protective Equipment options
Final Rule Phase
• Title: Confined Spaces in Construction
– Provides detailed hazard assessment
guidance
– Clarifies information exchange requirements
– Provides more guidance for the selection and
training of rescue services and personal
– Provides more guidance for the selection of

– The annual fatality rate for power line workers is about 50 deaths per
100,000 employees
– Construction industry standard addressing the safety of these workers
during the construction of electric power transmission and distribution
lines is over 35 years old
– Amend the corresponding standard for general industry so that
requirements for work performed during the maintenance of electric
power transmission and distribution installations are the same as those
for similar work in construction
