OSHA is issuing a final rule updating its personal protective equipment (PPE) standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.95(c)), to explicitly require that PPE fit properly. This revision aligns the language in the PPE standard for construction with the corresponding language in OSHA’s PPE standards for general industry and shipyards and affirms OSHA’s interpretation of its PPE standard for construction as requiring properly fitting PPE.
The rule will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. For more information, see the Federal Register Notice or OSHA’s PPE Safety and Health Topics Page.
