This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s proposed revisions to the Hazard Communications standard, updated information on silica and hexavalent chromium, and expected rule making in 2010. Additionally, information will be provided on EPA regulatory actions related to NAAQS Lead and PM2.5 and other EPA regulations. Much of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars and conferences.
