OSHA has reopened the glycol ethers rulemaking record to solicit information on the extent to which the two ethylene glycol ethers and their acetates are currently being used in the workplace, including their level of production and the industries and processes in which they're being used.
The agency also wants to learn about substitutes for the ethers that employers may be using, including information on patterns of use, levels of employee exposure to the substitutes and their degree of toxicity.
