Origin of OSHA Standards
Many OSHA standards were
originally developed from
three sources: Consensus standards
Proprietary standards
Federal laws already in effect
![Page 7: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
8 ©2006 TEEX
Consensus Standards
Developed by industry-wide standard developing organizations: American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Discussed and substantially agreed upon through member consensus
![Page 8: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
9 ©2006 TEEX
Consensus Standards
National in scope
Developed by a committee of experts
within a particular field
Often developed through subject
subcommittees
![Page 9: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Examples of Consensus Standards

for Powered Industrial Trucks

Proprietary Standards
Prepared by professional experts within specific industries, professional societies and associations
Determined by straight membership vote, not consensus
![Page 12: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Examples of Proprietary Standards

American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), Threshold Limit Values (TLVs)
API RP 54, Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations
![Page 13: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Relation of Proprietary and Consensus Standards to OSHA Standards
Not enacted as OSHA standard directly unless incorporated by reference in text
Citation possible under General Duty Clause, 5(a)(1) if: Employees were exposed to hazard Hazard was recognized Hazard caused or was likely to cause death
or serious harm There was a feasible and useful method to
correct the hazard
![Page 14: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Pre-Existing Federal Law
Some preexisting federal laws were enforced
prior to OSHA including:
Federal Supply Contracts Act (Walsh-Healey)
Federal Service Contracts Act (McNamara-
O’Hara)
![Page 15: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Horizontal and Vertical Standards
Some standards are horizontal meaning “general”, or “across the board”
Horizontal standards could apply to any employer in any industry
Examples of horizontal standard: Hazard Communication Standard
Walking and Working Surfaces
![Page 16: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
17 ©2006 TEEX
Horizontal and Vertical Standards
Vertical standards are specific only to a particular industry: Pulp, paper, and paperboard mills
(1910.261)
Textiles (1910.262)
Sawmills (1910.265)
Logging operations (1910.266)
No Federal vertical standard for oil and gas well drilling or servicing
![Page 17: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Advisory Committees
If OSHA determines that a specific standard is needed, any of several advisory committees may be called upon to develop specific recommendations.
All advisory committees must have members representing management, labor and state agencies.
H&S professions and the general public also may be represented.
![Page 21: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
23 ©2006 TEEX
Advisory Committees
National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) advises the Secretary of HHS and the
Secretary of Labor on matters regarding administration of the Act.
Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health advises the Secretary of Labor on formulation of construction safety and
health standards and other regulations.
![Page 22: Introduction to OSHA Standards MODULE 4. 2©2006 TEEX Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) A system of organization for the general and permanent rules.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649da15503460f94a8ce50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Standards Adoption
After the close of the comment period and any public hearing that is held, OSHA must publish in the Federal Register: The full, final text of any standard amended or
adopted; The date it becomes effective; An explanation of the standard and the reasons
for implementing it (Preamble).
Preambles help with standard interpretation.

Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS)
ETS’s take effect immediately! OSHA must determine that
workers are in grave danger due to exposure to toxic substances or agents
determined to be toxic or physically harmful or to new hazards
OSHA publishes ETS in Federal Register ETS serves as a proposed permanent standard
OSHA has had only one ETS in its history
