| 03-32018 | Occupational Exposure to 2-Methoxyethanol, 2-Ethoxyethanol and Their Acetates (Glycol Ethers) | Proposed Rule | OSHA is withdrawing its proposed standard on Occupational Exposure to 2-Methoxyethanol (2-ME), 2-Ethoxyethanol (2-EE), and their Acetates (2-MEA, 2-EEA) (four glycol ethers). Production and use of the four glycol ethers either have ceased or are virtually limited to "closed systems" where exposure levels more than 10 years ago already were at or below the proposed permissible exposure limits (PELs). Because there are few, if any, remaining opportunities for workplace exposure to these glycol ethers and little or no potential for exposure in the future because of the availability of less-toxic substitutes, OSHA has concluded that the proposed rule is no longer necessary. | 2003-12-31 | 2003 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/12/31/03-32018/occupational-exposure-to-2-methoxyethanol-2-ethoxyethanol-and-their-acetates-glycol-ethers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-12-31/pdf/03-32018.pdf | Labor Department; Occupational Safety and Health Administration | 271,386 | OSHA is withdrawing its proposed standard on Occupational Exposure to 2-Methoxyethanol (2-ME), 2-Ethoxyethanol (2-EE), and their Acetates (2-MEA, 2-EEA) (four glycol ethers).
