OSHA PAIN POINT #15: Let OSHA know how the proposed Emergency Response Standard will impact your department! Here is one ‘pain point’ that you can address in your comment.OSHA’s Proposed Rule: Twenty-one NFPA standards are incorporated in OSHA’s proposed rules.The Pain Point: Most of these standards are updated every three to five years and if a current standard is incorporated by reference into the proposed standard, it will remain fixed and require a Federal Register notice to be updated within the Emergency Response Standard. Second, NFPA is in the process of consolidating many of its standards and it is not clear how these standards would be impacted if they are incorporated by reference and are consolidated into other standards afterwards.Tell OSHA: That NFPA standards are not static and are updated every few years. If these standards are incorporated by reference, fire departments could be mandated to comply with outdated or non-existent standards.Find more resources, including a template comment letter, at: www.nvfc.org/osha-standardSubmit your comments by July 22 here: bit.ly/3KTKqTD...

It is critical that members of the fire and emergency services submit a public comment explaining what should be changed in the proposed standard and why.
