Question: What Did OSHA's Revised Memo say?

Answer:

On March 20, 2015, OSHA rescinded the November 2014 policy memorandum and issued a revised memorandum that:

• Allows all worksites of any size that are currently participants in SHARP to remain in SHARP and continue to reapply for SHARP.
• Allows worksites that chose to leave SHARP because of the 2014 memorandum to automatically rejoin SHARP.
• Reminds states that if they want to allow new subsidiaries of large firms to become participants in SHARP, they can use 100% of state funds instead of OSHA grant funds.
• Permits current SHARP sites that grow in size beyond the size limits identified in the policy to remain in the program.
