OSHA continues to streamline their standards by removing or revising confusing, outdated or inconsistent requirements. Phase 4 of the organization's Standard Improvement Projects (SIP 4) is part of this effort.

• Correcting references to canceled or older versions of third-party standards
• Referring physicians and health professionals diagnosing occupational hearing loss to the standard for determining work-relatedness
• Removing requirements for chest x-rays that fail to either detect lung cancer or extend workers' lives
• Removing requirements to collect workers' Social Security numbers for exposure monitoring, medical surveillance, and other records
• Revising the minimum breaking-strength of lanyard, lifelines, and safety belts
