Key Updates

Electrical standard. OSHA revised its existing electrical standard and relevant definitions found in sections 1910.302 to 1910.308 and 1910.399. With the revisions, the standard reflects more current practice based on Part I of the 2000 edition of NFPA 70E based on the National Electrical Code.

Local emphasis programs. OSHA has issued a new list of Local (Area Office) and Regional Emphasis Programs. These are enforcement strategies intended to address hazards or industries that pose a particular risk to workers in the jurisdiction of a local area office or regional office.

Process safety management. OSHA released an interpretation of the phrase "on site in one location" which appears in the "Application" section of OSHA’s Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard at 29 CFR 119. The standard applies when a threshold quantity of a highly hazardous chemical exists within contiguous areas under the control of an employer, or group of affiliated employers, in any group of vessels that are interconnected, or in separate vessels that are interconnected in such proximity that the highly hazardous chemical could be involved in a potential catastrophic release as defined in "process."

Interpretation letters. We are publishing some recent letters of interpretation in this issue. The topics include requirements for developing entry procedures for permit-required confined spaces; OSHA requirements for warning signs and protection from electric-arc-flash hazards and compliance with NFPA 70E-2004; application of the Lockout/Tagout standard to die-setting activities and other machine setup operations; acceptable time lapse for "annual" training; and OSHA training Standards Policy Statement.
