The U.S. Dept. of Labor is slowing its move to potentially revoke Arizona’s occupational health and safety plan after state officials say they’ve moved to address federal officials’ concerns.
The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is reopening the comment period on a proposed rule to reconsider and revoke its approval of the Arizona State Plan for Occupational Safety and Health, according to a notice published in the Federal Register Aug. 15. OSHA is also rescheduling a public hearing on the proposal that had been set for Aug. 16.
