OSHA RFI: Falls in Shipyards
For details on this OSHA Request for Information (RFI), CLICK HERE: OSHA requests information on its safety standards addressing falls in shipyards

Specifically, the RFI seeks comments and information on the:

In other words: OSHA is looking to update/enhance/improve safety standards governing shipyard employment.
Are you a stakeholder in the shipyard industry???
