The 30-day “grace period” OSHA allowed to evaluate good-faith efforts taken by employers to meet the agency’s Respirable Crystalline Silica construction standard expired October 23, 2017.
This means full enforcement of the provisions regarding the Silica in Construction standard have begun. Patrick J. Kapust, OSHA acting director, issued the memo outlining expiration of the enforcement extension.
