White Paper

Employment Safety Agencies Expect to Release 9 Rules This Year

 
“The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has identified seven proposals the agency hopes to release as final rules before the end of the year, while the Mine Safety and Health Administration, its sister agency within the Department of Labor, plans to issue two final rules in 2016.

In DOL’s semi-annual regulatory agenda, issued in May, OSHA indicated that its long-developing rule on walking working surfaces and personal fall protection systems for general industry will come out in August. OSHA has been working on this rule since 1990, releasing two proposals since then. The agency said the second proposed rule, issued in 2010, reflects current information on slip, trip, and fall prevention and is consistent with other OSHA standards.

October has been set for issuance of a rule to amend OSHA’s recordkeeping regulations to clarify employers’ ongoing duty to make and maintain accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses. OSHA said the rule is needed after a 2012 decision (AKM LLC d/b/a Volks Constructors v. Secretary of Labor, 675 F.3d 752 (D.C. Cir. 2012)) in which an appeals court held that OSHA could not issue a citation for an employer’s failure to record an employee injury on a log after the expiration of the six-month statute of limitations contained in the law.”
