摘要

This report presents the findings from a study of the scope of laws and regulations covering pulmonary and respiratory hazards. The analytic approach consisted of first developing a basic inventory of relevant regulated substances, then determining the range of toxic effects regulated, and finally identifying the range of work place settings covered by the regulations. Each substance listed in the inventory was assigned a hazard status and a regulatory status. No attempt was made to assess the enforcement or the degree of compliance with the laws and regulations. The analysis revealed that: (1) worker exposures to substances whose toxic effects are known to cause cancer and chronic respiratory illness are for the most part governed by regulations which are fully in effect; (2) this is largely the result of the consensus standards adopted en bloc early in OSHA's history rather than standards adopted on a substance by substance basis; (3) less than half of all known exposures to substances with presumed (as opposed to known) toxic effects are governed by regulations fully in effect; and, (4) although there is no significant duplication among regulations, there is fragmentation of effort among the administering agencies.
