OSHA is also retaining the 2003 and 1989 (R-1998) versions of the ANSI standard already referenced in its standard.<br \/>\nUnder the final rule, employers may follow any of the three latest versions of the Z87.1 standards. The new rule places no new obligations, costs or time constraints on employers. Employers that are already in compliance with OSHA&#8217;s eye and face requirements may continue their current practice in providing eye and face protection to their employees.
