ASBESTOS is a brief article from the U.S. Department of Labor (Fact
Sheet No. OSHA 92-06, dated Feb. 18, 1992) entitled "Better Protection
Against Asbestos in the Workplace." OSHA has issued revised
regulations covering asbestos exposure in general industry and
construction. Both standards set a maximum exposure limit and include
provisions for engineering controls and respirators, protective
clothing, exposure monitoring, hygiene facilities and practices,
warning signs, labeling, recordkeeping, and medical exams. Since an
estimated 1.3 million workers receive significant exposure to
asbestos through their jobs this is a very useful read.
