According to OSHA, the public now has until March 31, 2014, to submit comments on the request for information on potential revisions to its Process Safety Management standard. The request for information was issued in response to an executive order concerning the April 2013 chemical disaster in West, TX. The executive order, arising from that incident, was issued to seek out chemical facility safety and security improvements. OSHA reports that the request for information also seeks information on rulemaking and polity options, and the workplace hazards they address.
