Updates to OSHA's Process Safety Management Standard: An Index
In August 2022 OSHA (the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration) provided the agenda for a Stakeholder Meeting, currently scheduled for October 12, 2022. The agenda for this meeting identifies 24 areas where OSHA is considering making modifications. (The original 1992 (29 CFR 1910.119) regulation is provided here.) We are publishing posts to do with each of the 24 items. In this post we provide an index to the posts that have been written to date. We will update these posts as further information becomes available.
The proposed changes fall into two broad sections: (1) changes to the general scope of the standard, and (2) changes to “particular provisions”, i.e., the management elements. The posts are organized as follows.
Overview
