- Description:
- The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking comments on the use of engineering controls versus personal protective equipment in limiting worker exposure to air contaminants. OSHA is reviewing its policy that favors engineering controls over respirators and is requesting feedback on potential revisions to existing standards. The agency is interested in factors such as worker health, advances in respirator technology, and costs associated with each method of exposure control. Specific issues OSHA seeks comments on include the relative merits of engineering controls and personal protective equipment, situations where a combination of both methods might be used, and potential priority for different engineering controls. Comments should be submitted by June 22 to the OSHA Docket Officer in Washington, D.C.
