An updated version of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's (OSHA) technical manual is now available to provide technical
information and guidance to employers who need help in identifying and
controlling hazards as part of their safety and health programs, the U. S.
Labor Department announced today.
Originally issued as a compliance directive, the revised
300-plus page manual is now considered an educational document. The 21 chapters
have been reorganized into nine topic sections covering sampling, measuring
methods and instruments; health hazards; safety hazards; construction
operations; health care facilities; ergonomics; personal protective equipment;
safety and health management and general information.
The technical manual includes a new chapter on controlling
lead exposures in the construction industry. Chapters covering sampling,
technical equipment and sample shipping and handling have been revised and
updated.
