CFR 172A - Standards Improvement Project - Phase III

On June 8, 2011, OSHA published the third phase of the Standards Improvement Project (Federal Register) to continue streamlining and updating standards. OSHA identified several requirements for SIP–III (e.g., rigging, NIOSH records, and training certifications) for improvement based on the agency’s review of its standards, suggestions and comments from the public, or recommendations from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The N.C. Commissioner of Labor adopted this final rule verbatim with an effective date of October 31, 2011.
