The Department of Labor recently issued its regulatory agenda for Fall 2021. The latest agenda lists seven OSHA actions in the final rule stage, meaning they should be published at some point in 2022. These actions include four Whistleblower regulations and an update to the standard on walking-working surfaces; and the ETS on COVID vaccination, testing, and masking which will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. The agenda also includes 15 potential standards in the proposed rule stage and several potential standards of interest in the pre-rule stage.
