In plain English
OSHA's updated rules on construction safety gear took effect in January 2025 and set clearer standards for what protective equipment workers must wear on every job. Construction business owners must now ensure their crews have the right gear—hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and respirators as needed—and keep up-to-date training records to stay compliant.
