Comments of the Edison Electric Institute on the Emergency Response Standard - Proposed Rule

View on regulations.gov →

Abstract

OSHA is proposing a new rule to protect emergency responders, called Emergency Response. OSHA’s current Fire Brigades standard, 29 CFR 1910.156, provides protection specifically to industrial or private firefighters but no other types of emergency responders. It was published in 1980 and has not been updated with subsequent improvements in personal protective clothing and equipment or advances in safety and health practices. OSHA proposes to replace the existing 29 CFR 1910.156 with the new Emergency Response standard. The new rule would provide updated health and safety protections for firefighters, emergency medical service providers, and technical search and rescuers.
