At the end of three years, we are preparing for our recertification audit. We are giving our employees with new photo ID badges with magnetic strip and a snap off strap to fasten on the person. I would like to know if there is any OSHA or other standard on the force required for the snap off?
Appreciate the Cover's treasure of knowledge

Yes, the "General Duty Clause" para 5a "each employer shall....."

Seriously....If anything there may be some ANSI spec, but I wouldn't know for sure. There is definitely no OSHA thing.

It may fall under the general "Don't wear loose, floppy or dangling items around machinery" thing. OSHA tends to not be prescriptive and asking for things like snap off ID cards. Instead, OSHA wants an employer to find ways to prevent people getting pulled into moving mechanisms.
