General Information
| Action Summary |
The final rule updates eye and face protection requirements in OSHA’s general industry, shipyard employment, marine terminals, longshoring, and construction standards. The changes involve the incorporation by reference of the latest ANSI/International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) Z87.1-2010 standard on Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection Devices and the removal of the oldest ANSI (Z87.1-1989) version of the same standard. ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 provides requirements for the selection, testing, use, and maintenance of protectors intended to minimize or prevent eye and face injuries, including impact, non-ionizing radiation and chemical exposures, in occupational and education environments. |
