Washington – A proposed OSHA rule that would update the permissible exposure limit for beryllium is under review by the Office of Management and Budget.
OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs received the rule Sept. 4. Reviews – which are required in many cases before OSHA can publish a rule – are limited to 90 days but can be extended.
Details of the proposal, which has been in the works for more than a decade, have not yet been made public.
