Opposition to OSHA Proposal: Impact on Grain Industry, 1988-06-07

Item — Box: 170, Folder: 17

Identifier: CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0010

Staff Only

The letter is a strong opposition to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's proposal to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter permissible exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. The opposition is based on lack of scientific data supporting the proposed level, technical infeasibility for many grain facilities to comply, and significant costs associated with compliance. The letter urges OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit.
