Update from the Small Business Labor Safety Roundtable

At a recent meeting of the Safety Roundtable, hosted by the Small Business Administration, SGIA heard updates on regulatory issues impacting the specialty printing industry. Marc Freedman of the Coalition for Workplace Safety spoke on OSHA’s ongoing regulatory initiatives, including OSHA’s Request for Information on chemical permissible exposure limits (PELs), and OSHA’s proposed rule to require certain employers to submit their injury and illness reports electronically. Other issues raised included a principal change adopted by OSHA in the 2012 Hazard Communication Standard that state that requires the relabeling of a product within six months if significant new information results in a change in classification.  For details on any of these issues, please contact SGIA’s Government Affairs Department at govtaffairs@sgia.org.
