• Abstract:Amendment of the Occupational Exposure to Asbestos, Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite standard (1910.1001). establishes a permissible exposure limit of 0.2 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (f/ cc), determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average airborne. Applies to all industries covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act including the construction and maritime industries and general industries. Separate standards and separate statement of reasons (Summary and Explanation sections) have been developed to apply to general industry (including maritime) and to construction because the differences in exposure and workplace conditions in general industry and construction worksites warrant separate treatment.

The amended standards take effect July 21, 1986, except the following paragraphs which contain information collection requirements which are under review at the Office of Management and Budget: 29 CFR 1910.1001 (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(5), (d)(7), (f)(2), (g)(3) (i), (j)(5), (l) and (m); 29 CFR 1926.58 (f)(2), (f)(3), (f)(6), (h)(3) (i), (k)(3), (k)(4), (m), and (n).
