| 00-10517 | Asbestos Worker Protection | Proposed Rule | EPA proposes to modify a previously published proposed rule to amend the Asbestos Worker Protection Rule (WPR). This modified proposal would protect State and local government employees from the health risks of exposure to asbestos to the same extent as private sector workers by adopting for such employees the Asbestos Standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The modified proposal would expand the WPR's coverage to State and local government employees who are performing construction work, custodial work, and automotive brake and clutch repair work (the WPR now applies solely to asbestos abatement projects, a subset of construction work). The proposed rule would cross-reference the OSHA Asbestos Standards for Construction and for General Industry, so that amendments to these OSHA standards are directly and equally effective for employees covered by the WPR. It would also amend the Asbestos-in-Schools Rule to provide coverage under the WPR for employees of public local education agencies who perform operations, maintenance and repair activities. EPA is proposing this rule under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). | 2000-04-27 | 2000 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/04/27/00-10517/asbestos-worker-protection | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-04-27/pdf/00-10517.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA proposes to modify a previously published proposed rule to amend the Asbestos Worker Protection Rule (WPR).
