OSHA POST NEW LIST OF FAQs ON THE SILICA RULE
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has just released a set of 53  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  to provide guidance to employers and employees regarding OSHA’s respirable crystalline silica standard for construction. The FAQs were developed in conjunction with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) through the Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC). The development of the FAQs stem from litigation filed against OSHA by numerous construction industry associations challenging the legality of OSHA’s rule.
