Federal OSHA proposed a number of actions to amend its standards, including revisions to the Agency’s general industry, maritime, construction, and agricultural standards. The ongoing Standards Improvement Project (SIP) removed or revised individual requirements within rules that were confusing, outdated, duplicative, or inconsistent.
