OSHA Seeks Input
on Chemicals
of Concern

OSHA is holding a web forum through Aug. 27 to collect input from stakeholders regarding "chemicals of concern" for which the agency should develop exposure reduction strategies. The forum allows stakeholders to identify harmful chemicals and explain why OSHA should focus on these chemicals in developing long-  and short-term solutions for reducing workers’ exposure. Interested parties can complete a nomination form on the OSHA web site.

“Many of our permissible exposure limits are based on 1950s-era science that we now realize is inadequate to protect workers in 21st century workplaces,” Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA David Michaels said in a press release. “We must assure the protection of workers currently exposed to well-recognized chemical hazards for which we have an inadequate PEL or no PEL at all.”
