- Description:
- 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.
