March 25, 2016 (Federal Register Volume 81, No. 58)

[RIN 1218-AC87]

§§1910.6 and 1910.133

have been revised to update the references in OSHA’s eye and face standards to reflect the most recent edi-

tion of the ANSI/International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) eye and face protection standard. The oldest-referenced edition

of the same ANSI standard has been removed.

May 12, 2016 (Federal Register Volume 81, No. 92)

[RIN 1218-AC49]

§§1904.35 and 1904.36

have been modified to update requirements on how employers inform employees to report work-related inju-

ries and illnesses to their employer. The rule requires employers to inform employees of their right to report work-related injuries and

illnesses free from retaliation; clarifies the existing implicit requirement that an employer’s procedure for reporting work-related inju-

ries and illnesses must be reasonable and not deter or discourage employees from reporting; and incorporates the existing statutory

prohibition on retaliating against employees for reporting work-related injuries or illnesses. This rule also amends OSHA’s existing

recordkeeping regulation to clarify the rights of employees and their representatives to access the injury and illness records.
