Following last year’s ammonium nitrate explosion that killed 15 in West, Texas, the President issued
Executive Order 13650 targeted at improving chemical facility safety and security. In response to that Executive Order, OSHA is considering potential changes to its Process Safety Management enforcement policies, as well as potential updates to the agency’s standards on explosives and blasting agents, flammable liquids, and spray finishing. The public comment period on the request for information on the potential revisions has been extended to March 31, 2014.
