Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards; Eye and Face Protection

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA" or "Agency") is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking to update its general industry, shipyard employment, marine terminals, longshoring, and construction eye and face protection standards by incorporating by reference the three most recent versions of the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI" or "national consensus standard") Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection standard. In addition, OSHA proposes to change language in the construction eye and face protection standard to make it consistent with both the general industry and maritime standards.
