NSC 2014: Fall Protection, Hazard Communication Repeat as OSHA’s Most Frequently Cited Standards
In fact, this year’s entire top 10 list contained the same standards as last year’s list, with a few standards moving up or down.
There was no need for a drumroll when OSHA unveiled its preliminary list of the top 10 most frequently cited workplace safety standards for fiscal year 2014.
Predictably, fall protection (1926.501) retained the No. 1 spot, with 6,143 violations, and hazard communication (1910.1200) retained the No. 2 spot, with 5,161 violations.
The No. 3 and No. 4 most frequently cited standards – scaffolding and respiratory protection, respectively – retained their rankings from 2013 as well.
