OSHA proposes to revoke the ancillary provisions for the construction and the shipyard sectors that OSHA adopted on January 9, 2017 but retain the new lower permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.2 μg/m3 and the short term exposure limit (STEL) of 2.0 μg/m3 for each sector.
US Code:
29 USC 655
Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
The Agency is proposing both a program change and an adjustment (decrease) to the currently approved Beryllium Information Collection. OSHA is proposing to revoke the two comprehensive standards applicable to the construction and shipyard sectors. The proposal would remove the existing collection of information requirements currently applicable to the construction and shipyard sectors resulting in a reduction in burden hours and costs program change. In addition, this ICR removes burden hours and costs for employers to become familiar with the Beryllium final rule, adjustment. The ICR adds burden and cost for shipyard and construction employers to determine that their existing paperwork requirements have been eliminated as proposed, program change. Finally, this ICR annualized the burden hours and costs over a three year period, resulting in an adjustment decrease in hours.
