On June 1, 2015, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced its publication of new guidance on best practices regarding transgender employees' bathroom access. The announcement comes after the National Center for Transgender Equality formed an alliance with OSHA and requested guidance from the agency. The action by OSHA coincides with National LGBT Pride Month.
