During our recent webinars on the proposed changes to OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910 regulations, we engaged in meaningful dialogue with other safety professionals on the potential impacts of these changes. Many different issues were discussed, and we will continue to comment on relevant topics through the blog. Following is a quick list of the results of the poll questions posed during the webinars. I have found some of these results very interesting, and I’m interested in your thoughts about these items.
