![["The document includes two letters addressed to Congressman Glenn English regarding proposed OSHA regulations for grain handling facilities. Both letters express opposition to the proposed regulations, citing high costs and the belief that compliance will not improve safety. The documents request Congressman English to contact OSHA on their behalf to reconsider the proposed rules."]](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_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Proposed OSHA Regulations for Grain Handling Facilities")
![["The document is a formal opposition to the proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oats, and barley dust. The writer, Richard Humphreys, operates a cooperative owned country elevator in Pond Creek, Oklahoma, and argues that OSHA has not provided enough research to support this exposure level. He believes that compliance with this level would be technically infeasible and costly for grain facilities, ultimately impacting American farmers and food consumers. Humphreys 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_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposed Wheat, Oat, and Barley Dust Exposure Limit")
![["OSHA has proposed new safety measures for grain handling facilities in the United States to reduce risks of fire and explosion. The proposed standard includes requirements for dust control, emergency action plans, employee training, equipment maintenance, and means of egress. The standard aims to reduce deaths and injuries by more than 50 percent and save millions of dollars in property damage annually. Comments on the proposed standard are being accepted until March 9, 1984."]](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_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding OSHA and the Dental Profession with Glenn English")
