Effective January 13, 2025, OSHA issued their Final Rule updating 1926.95, criteria for personal protective equipment. This revision to the standard adds specific language requiring that employers provide PPE that properly fits construction industry workers. The change aligns the construction industry standard with the standard already in place for general industry.
What are employer’s next steps? Review the guidance to understand employer’s role in supplying properly fitting PPE for your employees. Purchase properly fitting PPE if needed for your own operations. Update employer policies and procedures and implement them to comply with OSHA standards.
