ANSI Z87.1 was updated in 2003. Has the revised standard been incorporated into the OSHA regulations?
A. Currently, ANSI Z87.1-1989 is incorporated by reference in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations [29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.133]. As such, it carries the force of the law. If OSHA chooses to adopt ANSI Z87.1-2003, the change will be noted in the Federal Register. LSS will continually monitor the Federal Register for an announcement of such changes.
