Publication Date	1998
Page Count	48
Abstract	This document summarizes the findings of the recently released NISOH Criteria for a Recommend Standard Occupational Exposure to Metalworking Fluids. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 95-164), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NISOH) is charged with recommending occupational safety and health standards and describing exposure concentrations that are safe for various periods of employment-including but not limited to concentrations that are safe for various periods of employment-including but no limited to concentrations at which no worker will suffer diminished health, functional capacity, or life expectancy as a result of his or her work experience. The metalworking fluids criteria document provides the scientific basis for NISOH's recommended occupational health standard for occupational exposure to metalworking fluids. It contains a critical review of the scientific and technical information available on the extent and type of health hazards associated with the metalworking fluids and the adequacy of control methods. This document represents the companion document to the criteria document, and is the educational document which is intended to communicate the basic information from the criteria document.
