Public hearings held virtually have proven effective in allowing greater public access, eliminating the burden of physical travel, and maintaining public safety. Accordingly, this public hearing will not be held in person.

The purpose of this rulemaking is to better align chapter 296-304 WAC with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) personal protective equipment requirements for eye and face protection for Shipyard Employment found at 29 CFR 1915, Subpart I. This rulemaking ensures chapter 296-304 WAC is at least as effective as OSHA requirements, as statutorily required per chapter 49.17 RCW, the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act. Additionally, this rulemaking incorporates housekeeping and formatting changes.
