The week of Labor Day found things relatively quiet in the regulatory world; perhaps people were squeezing in that last bit of summer fun. Things often tend to start picking up quite a bit as the fall approaches; we’ll see if this year works out that way too. Meanwhile, here’s the week’s rather limited news:

Transport Canada

The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) has released the draft of the new revision to Safety Standard CAN/CGSB-43.150 for a 60-day consultation period. This standard is incorporated by reference within the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR). It governs the requirements for the design, manufacture and use of UN packagings used in the transport of dangerous goods, classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9. Find out more about the revision and how to offer comment if you are an impacted stakeholder.

OSHA

The agency published a new ICR related to its Respiratory Protection Standard. The regulations in the standard govern the use of respiratory protection and hazard mitigation in the many industries in which airborne contaminants may sometimes pose an issue. See the ICR here.
