OSHA's first permanent asbestos standard (29 CFR 1910.93a), published in full in the Federal Register of June 7, 1972 (pp. 11318-11322), preceded here by the December 7, 1971 pages (pp. 23207-23208) with the emergency temporary standard and the matching amendment to the construction regulations (29 CFR 1518.55). The 1971 emergency standard set 5 fibers per milliliter as an eight-hour average. The 1972 rule kept 5 fibers/cc with a 10 fibers/cc ceiling, set 2 fibers/cc from July 1, 1976, and required monitoring, warning signs and labels, respirators, and medical examinations, with records kept 20 years.
