- Description:
- Gene Warnock, General Manager of Farmers Grain Company, located in Kremlin, Oklahoma, expresses his 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. He argues that OSHA has not provided adequate scientific data to support this level, and that it would be technically infeasible and costly for facilities to comply with. Additionally, he criticizes OSHA for not demonstrating the significant risks associated with exposure to grain dust and urges them to delete the proposed exposure limit.
