![["Glenn English, a member of Congress, received a letter from A.R.K. Ramos Foundry & Manufacturing Company expressing concern over proposed changes to the OSHA airborne lead standard. The company believes that complying with the new standard would be costly and could potentially put them out of business. They urge English to oppose the standard to protect jobs and businesses. English assures them that their concerns will be considered if Congress votes on the matter."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "OSHA Regulations and the Grain Industry: A Call for Action")
![["The document is a series of correspondence between Glenn English, a member of Congress, and Lew Meibergen, Chairman of the Board of W.B. Johnston Grain Co., regarding the Hazard Communication Standard of OSHA. Meibergen expresses concerns about the classification of grain dust as a hazardous material and the lack of assistance in determining necessary forms and reports. English promises to follow up with OSHA officials and provide a response."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Safety Standards for Grain Elevators: A Decade in the Making")
![["The document is a letter to Congressman Glenn English from the Haskell Lemon Construction Co. opposing OSHA's ruling on regulating asphalt fumes as carcinogenic. The company argues that asphalt fumes are not as dangerous as coal tar pitch fumes and calls for further studies before implementing regulations. They propose removing asphalt fumes from the ruling, delaying the entire ruling for Congressional hearings, and conducting joint studies with OSHA to determine risks to workers. They also highlight the potential negative impact on the infrastructure and transportation system if the ruling is left unchallenged."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Hazardous Materials Training Funding")
![["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")
![["Perryton Equity Exchange opposes OSHA's proposal to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. They argue that there is insufficient scientific data to support this level, and it would be technically infeasible and costly for their grain facility to comply. They also criticize OSHA for not demonstrating significant risk associated with the exposure and not conducting a feasibility analysis. They urge 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_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Protest Letter Against OSHA's Proposed Grain Dust Exposure Level")
![["The document is from Lew Meibergen, a small business owner, to Congressman Glenn English discussing the frustration of trying to understand and comply with OSHA's rules and regulations. Meibergen highlights the complexity and difficulty of interpreting the regulations and expresses concern about the burden they place on small business owners. He encloses a copy of the Federal Register from 1987 to illustrate his point."]](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_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Appreciation for Congressional Support: A Letter from Ritchie Corporation")
