OSHA Updates Face-protection Standards in Final Rule
A rule that takes effect on April 25 updates references in OSHA’s Eye and Face Protection Standards.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ecently published a final rule that updates requirements for personal protective equipment for workers at MROs, among others. The rule, which goes into effect on April 25, updates references in OSHA’s Eye and Face Protection Standards to recognize ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010, while deleting the outdated 1986 standard. However, there is some confusion about the rule, because equipment currently available in the marketplace reflects an even newer standard, ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015.
