OSHA proposes to update references to include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z87.1-2010, and to change the language in the standards for construction to match the language in both maritime and general industry.
The original OSHA eye and face protection standard was adopted in 1971. It was most recently amended in 2009 for the areas of general industry, shipyard employment, longshoring, and marine terminals. The most recent OSHA revision for the constructioneye and face protection standard was in 1993.
