Three-page excerpt from OSHA's August 10, 1994 final rule revising its asbestos standards (29 CFR 1910 et al.): the cover and pp. 40980-40981 of the preamble. These pages answer industry claims of a scientific consensus that chrysotile carries less cancer risk than amphiboles. They summarize testimony on pleural plaques, lung function loss and mesothelioma among building custodians and school district employees exposed to in-place asbestos. OSHA explains why it saw no need for a separate risk assessment for that group under the new 0.1 f/cc limit.
