In the OSHA budget justification the agency laid out some of its plans for 2015: Inspections – OSHA announced the agency will conduct more health and safety inspections in 2015, with most of the increase occurring in health inspections. OSHA says the reason for this is that health issues are being identified as increasing.
Final Rules – OSHA predicts that during 2015 it will issue final rules for walking-working surfaces, recordkeeping modernization, the fourth phase of the Standards Improvement Project and crane operator certification. That’s a pretty aggressive agenda seeing that the agency is so heavily involved in silica and has I2P2 still on the table.
