September 19, 2005—The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a final rule in the September 13 Federal Register that revokes references to outdated industry and national consensus standards and reflects advances in technology and work processes.
OSHA is revoking references found in its standards on Temporary Labor Camps, Guarding of Portable Power Tools, Sawmills, Flammable and Combustible Liquids, and Arc Welding and Cutting, all of which reference outdated consensus or industry standards, says OSHA.
