Overview

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has published a series of proposed rulemakings in the Federal Register on July 1, 2025. This initiative reflects OSHA's commitment to modernizing workplace safety standards, addressing outdated regulations, and enhancing the flexibility of compliance strategies across multiple industries. These efforts are aligned with Executive Order 14192, “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,” which directs agencies to streamline regulatory obligations by repealing outdated or redundant standards, thereby reducing compliance costs and fostering economic growth.
