Posthearing Comments of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Proposed Rule on Occupational Exposure to 2-Methoxyethanol, 2-Ethoxyethanol and Their Acetates (Glycol Ethers).

PB94176369

Publication Date	1993
Page Count	20
Abstract	The testimony presents specific responses of NIOSH to OSHA requests for additional information. Specific topics touched on in this testimony include the provision of additional information on the change out schedule for respirator cartridges/canisters, additional insight from a published article on the potential usefulness of biological monitoring to evaluate dermal exposures, engineering controls in the autobody repair industry, information on the types of engineering controls that would be appropriate for reducing airborne concentrations of glycol ethers during bulk transfer operations, engineering controls in a previous study in the semiconductor industry, a surveillance program for glycol ethers, and the position of NIOSH on future OSHA rulemaking for other glycol ethers.
