Top Ten Regulations OSHA Gets Questions About
Here’s a list of the top ten enquiries sent by e-mail to OSHA about its regulations. The agency keeps tabs both by e-mail and phone enquiry, so a notation in parentheses shows the phone rank and regulation link:
- Powered industrial trucks (1910.178, #3)
- Sanitation (1910.141, #4)
- Hazard communication (1910.1200, #2)
- Bloodborne pathogens (1910.1030, #1)
- Personal protective equipment, general requirements (1910.132, #5)
- Medical services and first aid (1910.151, #6)
- Ergonomics (no OSHA standard, not on phone list)
- Electrical, general requirements (1910.303, not on phone list)
- Respiratory protection (1910.134, #8)
- Air contaminants (1910.1000, #7).
Stolen shamelessly (but with attribution) from Safety News Alert, which also notes:
“The two questions in the top-10 list of questions received by phone that aren’t on the e-mail list are about indoor air quality (no OSHA standard) and permit-required confined spaces (1910.146).”
