1218-AC92 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1218 Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA 1200 Department of Labor DOL Arizona State Plan for Occupational Safety and Health

Arizona administers an occupational safety and health State Plan approved by Federal OSHA.  In May 2012, Arizona passed Arizona Senate Bill (SB) 1441, since codified as Arizona Revised Statute, Title 23, Ch. 2, Art. 13 (A.R.S. 23-492) and later modified with the passage of SB 1307. A.R.S. 23-492 sets forth fall protection requirements for residential construction work in the state. OSHA has reviewed the Arizona statute (both the original and as modified) and determined that it is not at least as effective as Federal OSHA's standard for fall protection in residential construction.  As such, OSHA is proposing to reject the Arizona statute and reconsider final approval of the State Plan.  OSHA has solicited and received written comments to ensure that all relevant information, views and data are available to the Assistant Secretary.  OSHA is in the process of analyzing the record.
