What does OSHA have to say about Hexavalent Chromium?
A. On February 28, 2006, OSHA published the final standard for occupational exposure to Hexavalent Chromium. The new standard will protect workers against exposure to compounds containing Hexavalent Chromium Cr(VI) in the general industry, construction and shipyard sectors, while providing employers with adequate time to transition to the new requirements. OSHA estimates 558,000 workers are covered by the provisions in this new standard.
