OSHA's proposed silica rule will be posted to the Federal Register today, Sept. 12, 2013. That will be the official federal site
for public comment on the rule.
The MCAA is encouraging contractors to comment on the proposed rule and the impact it will have on your business.
It
is important when commenting to remember that this will be a part of
official government records. It is also important to note where you can
the impractical application and difficult nature of trying to monitor
silica in an uncontrolled environment such as a jobsite.
While
financial impact is important, other things that will impact you are
important to relate. Are there enough independent labs in your area
number one and are they qualified to do the monitoring at your jobsite?
If you do comment on the rule, please copy and paste your comments into an email back to Jeff
at the MCAA office. He will collect our comments and bring them to the
silica coalition for consideration in our battle to change the rule.
Download the proposed rule and submit comments and attachments electronically at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=OSHA-2010-0034,
which is the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. All comments, including any
personal information you provide, are placed in the public docket
without change and may be made available online. Therefore, be cautious
about submitting personal information.
