OSHA Unified Agenda - [Long-Term Actions] |
|
|
RIN: 1218-AC09 |
Publication ID: Spring 2009 |
|
Title: Explosives |
|
|
Abstract: OSHA is amending 29 CFR 1910.109, which addresses explosives and blasting agents. These OSHA regulations were published in 1974, and many of the provisions do not reflect technological and safety advances made by the industry since that time. Additionally, the standard contains outdated references and classifications. Two trade associations representing many of the employers subject to this rule have petitioned the Agency to consider revising it, and have recommended changes they believe address the concerns they are raising. Initially, OSHA planned to revise the pyrotechnics requirements in this NPRM. However, based on our work to date, it appears appropriate to reserve action on these requirements for a second phase of rulemaking. The agency therefore plans to propose revisions to 29 CFR 1910.109 without any changes to the existing pyrotechnics requirements, and at a future date will develop a proposed rule for pyrotechnics revision. OSHA published a proposed rule on April 13, 2007, and is considering its next step. |
