In the past few years, several new Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations have been set that have had enormous impact on the water industry. Several proposed rules are pending. A brief summary of the following rules are given: safety rules as applied to excavations; hazardous energy (lock‐out‐tag‐out) rule; process management; laboratory safety rules covering chemical hazards; OSHA fines; proposed confined‐space rules; and motor vehicle standards under development.
