![["The United States Department of Labor's Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health responds to Congressman Glenn English regarding concerns about the Hazard Communication Standard affecting the grain industry. The rule requires employers to inform workers about hazardous materials, including grain dust, and provide protective measures. The rule does not require the elimination of grain dust or set exposure limits. Congressman English expresses gratitude for the information and states that he will follow up with OSHA regarding the decision-making process."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0031_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Over OSHA Regulations for Grain Handling Facilities")
![["A letter from WB Johnston Grain Company's Chairman of the Board, Lew Meibergen, addressed to United States House Representative Glenn English, expressing concerns about the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulation classifying wheat, oats, and barley dust as hazardous materials. Meibergen believes the regulation goes too far, will be costly to comply with, and requests Congress to readdress the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201987-1991/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0001_thumbnail.jpg "OSHA Regulations and Safety Guidelines for Retired Federal and Military Employees - 1987 Update")
![["The document 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 document urges OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Extension of Public Comment Period on OSHA Air Contaminants Proposal")
