OSHA Proposes Standards for Hard Hats

By -

Last month, OSHA officially proposed its standard for hard hats used in construction and other industries. The proposed revision seeks to bring OSHA's rules in line with current American National Standards Institute (ANSI - Z89.1) standards for hard hats.
