Asbestos Project Plan Introduction III: Asbestos Project Plan & OSHA

Read about the EPA's Asbestos Project Plan and OSHA.

The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg have decades of experience defending victims’ rights in practice areas that include: accidents/general injury, dangerous drugs, medical malpractice, and environmental pollutants.

NEWS UPDATE:

Project Plan: Other federal agencies also address asbestos. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates worker safety and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts related research and monitors asbestos exposure through work-place activities.

The U.S. Geological Survey and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) monitor and regulate asbestos-related mining activities. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulates asbestos in consumer products. The National Institute of Standards and Technology accredits laboratories that test for the presence of asbestos fibers.
