Abstract:

This interim final rule amends the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for occupational health and environmental controls in subpart D of 29 CFR part 1926 by adding a new 1926.62 containing employee protection requirements for construction workers exposed to lead. This standard reduces the permitted level of exposure to lead for construction workers from 200 micrograms per cubic meter of air (200 ug/m(3)) as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) to an 8-hour TWA of 50 ug/m(3).
