  17. 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.

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. 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

  21. Proposed Silica Standard • OSHA is proposing two separate regulatory texts • one for general industry and maritime • one for construction • https://www.osha.gov/silica/index.html

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

  23. 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. OSHA is currently conducting a scientific peer review of its draft risk assessment Economic peer review was scheduled to be completed in June 2011.

  27. 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

  28. Final Rule Phase • 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

  29. 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
