The 9th edition contains all the latest changes in OSHA standards including:
- OSHA revisions to the Means of Egress standards. The purpose of this revision is to rewrite the existing requirements in clearer language so they will be easier to understand by employees and employers. The rules are performance-oriented and more concise than the original, with fewer subparagraphs and fewer cross-references to other OSHA standards. OSHA has also changed the name of the subpart from “Means of Egress” to “Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans and Fire Prevention Plans” to better describe the contents.
- OSHA’s new guidelines on Ergonomics. It includes OSHA’s plans to reduce ergonomic injuries through a combination of industry-targeted guidelines and enforcement measures. It includes the latest industry-specific guidelines to reduce ergonomic-related injuries for nursing homes, grocery stores and poultry processing facilities.
- OSHA’s revisions to Commercial Diving standards. This will allow employers of recreational Diving Instructors and Diving Guides flexibility to comply with an alternate set of requirements instead of the decompression chamber requirements.
It’s easy to see why this publication is the number one reference used by employers throughout the country, year after year. It cuts through the yards of red tape and helps them understand what their OSHA compliance responsibilities are and what they should do about them.
So, get the reference most used by other professionals trying to cope with understanding the growing number of complex OSHA Compliance Standards. Because when the OSHA inspector lands on your doorstep, ignorance will cost you hefty fines. Resting comfortably in the confidence that you are OSHA compliant will be priceless!
