OSHA: Comments wanted on lead-in-construction standard
OSHA Monday called for comments on its lead-in-construction standard, which requires testing for lead exposures, provisions to protect workers from exposure where lead is present, and medical monitoring of exposed workers.
The agency is conducting its regulatory review of the lead-in-construction standard under Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and Section 5 of Executive Order 12866 to determine if the standard is needed and if it should be amended.
