Directives

DIRECTIVES provide HIOSH and the public with information on HIOSH policies and procedures and guidance on the application of the HIOSH standards (administrative rules).  Some of these directives explain how HIOSH compliance personnel are to enforce these standards and how employers are expected to comply.

RESOURCES and publications related to some of the following directives can be found on the OSHA Publications website at https://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.html. Search by topic, e.g. amputations, silica, hexavalent chromium.
