The sad fact is that the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration has failed to promulgate rules to protect workers from exposure to a number of toxic chemicals that are known to cause cancer and birth defects, even when risk assessments on the chemicals are available. AB 515 (Lieber) would rectify that shortcoming by requiring OSHA to set permissible exposure limits for chemicals that are used in the workplace, that are known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, and for which a risk assessment has been completed.
