This coming week will bring the official start of spring—no doubt we’re all happy about that! Meanwhile, we need to start preparing our facilities for the spring storm season in much of the country. Be sure that your emergency shelter plans and areas are ready and your employees are trained to respond to warnings correctly. Let’s keep everyone safe! Here’s the week’s rather minimal regulatory news:
DOL/OSHA
The department submitted a new ICR request dealing with the “Lead in General Industry” standard. Lead is a heavy metal that is extremely hazardous to humans if proper exposure limitation protocols are not adhered to. Comments on the new ICR close on April 19th.
