That's simple. Get the most up to date standard and follow it. OSHA won't cite, they'll stand up and applaud. They don't want those old standards. They just don't have time to fight the industries that don't want the standards updated. It can be really long and bitter and resource depleting to get them all updated.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] How long to keep old standards?
I am moving offices and have probably 30 years' worth of ANSI/NFPA/CGA standards. I am fine with keeping those no longer updated (like the NFPA standard on oxidizer storage) but is there any point in keeping the last 3 editions of (for example) the ANSI standard on eyewashes and safety showers? I have limited space and no time to peruse the history/evolution of safety and compliance a practices...
Many thanks for your thoughts on this-
