- Description:
- The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is asking for public comments on its current policy for identifying, classifying, and regulating occupational carcinogens. Assistant Secretary of Labor Thorne G. Auchter is seeking feedback on how the policy should be modified in light of recent Supreme Court decisions and advancements in science. OSHA is also considering more cost-effective ways to protect workers from carcinogens and evaluating the effectiveness of the existing policy. Public comments are requested within 90 days, and specific details on proposed changes are outlined in a notice to be published in the Federal Register.
