Not sure which new OSHA rules go into action in 2015 and if the rules apply to breweries?  Beginning January 1, 2015, employers (regardless of the number of employees) will be required to report to OSHA within 24 hours all in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, and loss of an eye.  If the employee is taken to the hospital but is not admitted, OSHA does not need to be contacted but the injury may need to be documented on the employer’s OSHA log (pending on treatment and work relationship).

The final rule also updates OSHA list of partially exempt industries and industry classification to the North America Industry Classification System (NAICS).  For most breweries the NAICS code is 312120.  OSHA feels under the rule, the agency will be able to to better target enforcement and consultation services.
