The purpose of this proposal by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is to change existing language in WAC 296-803-30005. The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advised the department of a few areas in the lockout/tagout standard where we are not as effective as the federal rule. The proposed changes will make Washington State’s rule as effective as the Federal equivalent. The changes were adopted 8/4/2009 and became effective on 11/1/2009.548.
