OSHA Delays Compliance Date For Electric Rule Revisions By Nearly Four Months

OSHA has delayed by almost four months the compliance deadline for its new rule revising electrical power standards in general industry and construction, issuing a “temporary citation policy” pushing back the enforcement date to Oct. 31, 2014 in what reportedly is an effort to give industry more time to understand the complexities of the rule, as well as ensure that OSHA has the field resources more fully in place to enforce the new standards.
