OSHA: Workers Are Not Being Protected From Chemical Hazards
OSHA is launching a national dialogue with stakeholders on ways to prevent work-related illness caused by exposure to hazardous chemicals.
Saying that the “most serious hazards are the silent killers, the ones we can’t see,” Dr. David Michaels today announced that OSHA is launching what he called “a national dialogue” with stakeholders to manage worker exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
The first stage of this dialogue is a request for information on the management of hazardous chemical exposures in the workplace and strategies for updating permissible exposure limits.
