- Description:
- The document from Joseph L. Ashbaker, General Manager of Farmers Cooperative Association in Fairmont, Oklahoma, expresses strong opposition to OSHA's proposal to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter permissible exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. Ashbaker argues that there is insufficient scientific data to support this level, it would be technically infeasible for most grain facilities to comply with, and OSHA has failed to demonstrate significant risk, reduction in risk, or feasibility of the proposed standard. Ashbaker urges OSHA to delete the permissible exposure limit for wheat, oat, and barley dust.
