Chemicals of Concern

OSHA has established permissible exposure limits (PELs) for hundreds of chemicals. Unfortunately, the PELs were set in the 1970's using science / research from the '50s. OSHA has opened the door to receive comments on "Chemicals of Concerns." Comments can be provided at:

http://www.osha.gov/pelforum.html

The purpose for collecting such information is to help OSHA develop pertinent solutions for reducing worker's exposures using more up to date information for more prevalently used chemicals. Be sure to provide your feedback BY AUGUST 27, 2010.
