Abstract
As part of a line-by-line review of its standards, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is consolidating repetitious provisions, removing duplicative pages, making corrections, and clarifying and reorganizing various sections of its standards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This action is being taken in response to a Presidential initiative begun in March 1995 to streamline Federal regulatory efforts. In addition, OSHA is removing certain fire protection standards from the Safety and Health Regulations for Construction that had inadvertently been identified as applicable to construction work. The document being published today does not make any changes to the substantive requirements of the standards.
