The OSHA standard on control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout) general industry is one of the top 10 most frequently penalized OSHA standards for FY 2021.

OSHA is extending the comment period for its proposal to revise provisions that may be confusing, outdated or unnecessary in the agency's recordkeeping, general industry, maritime and construction standards. Originally scheduled to expire Dec. 5, the comment period will be extended to Jan. 4, 2017, to allow parties more time to review the rule and collect necessary information and data for comments.
