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 to expand OSHA's legal authority to collect and make available injury and illness information required under part –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 –NPRM - 09/12/13

Proposed Silica Standard OSHA is proposing two separate regulatory texts –one for general industry and maritime –one for construction a/index.html

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

Proposed Rule Phase Title: Occupational Exposure to Beryllium –1999 and 2001, OSHA was petitioned to issue an emergency temporary standard by the United Steel Workers, Public Citizen Health Research Group, and others.

Final Rule Phase Title: Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements--NAICS Update and Reporting Revisions –OSHA is proposing to update appendix A to subpart B of part 1904 to include North American Industry Classification System (NAICS and based on more recent occupational injury and illness rates. –Report to OSHA the occurrence of fatalities and certain injuries. –NPRM - 06/22/2011 –NPRM Comment Period End - 09/20/2011 –Notice of Reopening of Record - 09/28/2011 –Comment Period End - 10/28/2011 –Final Action 04/00/2014

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 ). 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

Title: Confined Spaces in Construction –Similar to the requirements for Permit Required Confined Spaces (PRCS) Atmospheric Testing Methodology 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 rescue methods
