Statute overview

About this statute

This provision sets workplace health and safety rules for lighting, noise, ventilation, heat, space, seating, and hazardous substances. This provision requires safe storage, handling, protective equipment, exposure control, medical monitoring, and asbestos control measures for hazardous substances and workplace air contaminants. Employers must provide asbestos decontamination facilities, control worker decontamination steps, arrange required medical checks for exposed workers and silica-exposed workers, and manage radon and radiation monitoring. This provision lists workplace exposure limits for many air contaminants and dusts, and says atmospheres must not be oxygen-deficient below 18% oxygen.
