OSHA Standards for the Construction Industry as of January 2011
This book contains the occupational safety and health standards for the construction industry promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), effective January 2011.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will now require spirometry technicians to complete a NIOSH-approved refresher course to maintain their NIOSH-approved spirometry course certificates. Two changes to the NIOSH Spirometry Training Program will take effect Jan. 1, 2009. First, a time limitation will be placed on the certificates awarded to students who successfully complete NIOSH-approved spirometry training. Second, NIOSH will begin reviewing and approving dedicated spirometry refresher training courses designed for technicians who have previously completed a NIOSH-approved spirometry course and are seeking recertification. For additional information, contact spirometry@cdc.gov.
