[Docket Number H-033-d]
Occupational Exposure to Asbestos, Tremolite, Anthophyllite and Actinolite
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor
ACTION: Final Rule
SUMMARY: In this final standard the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) amends its present standards for regulating occupational exposure to asbestos in general industry (29 CFR 1910.1001) and construction (29 CFR 1928.56).
OSHA has reviewed available relevant evidence concerning the health effects of non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite and has also examined the feasibility of various regulatory options. Based on the entire rulemaking record before it, OSHA has made a determination that substantial evidence is lacking to conclude that non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite present the same type or magnitude of health effect as asbestos. Further, substantial evidence does not support a finding that exposed employees would be at a significant risk because non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite or actinolite was not regulated in the asbestos standards.
OSHA hereby lifts the Administrative Stay, removes and reserves 29 CFR 1910.1101, and amends the revised asbestos standards (29 CFR Sections 1910.1001 and 1026.58) to remove non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite from their scope.
DATES: This standard shall become effective immediately.
