A.  Background

In 2007 the Commissioner of Labor and Industry adopted the 'as amended' provision for MOSH standards notices. This allows MOSH to adopt revisions of OSHA/MOSH standards without needing the MOSH Advisory Board's consensus. This provision takes affect only if the revision deals with a previous standard already amended by MOSH and the language reads 'as amended'. On January 1, 2007 the Commissioner of Labor and Industry adopted a "Provision Relating to Steel Erection; Slip Resistance of Skeletal Structural Steel" and added the 'as amended' provision. That being the case, this memo from OSHA is adopted as is (please reference the above listed OSHA memo for details).

B.  Action

MOSH Compliance and Consultation Supervisors shall ensure that all Compliance Officers are trained on the contents of this notice.
